Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 + 3b -1 = -5 - b

-13 + 3b = -5 - b

+13 = +13

_____________

3b = 8 - b

+b = +b

_________

4b = 8

/4 = /4 <---divide 8 by 4

_______________

b = 2

-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms to get:
3b-13=-5-b
Add 13 to both sides:
3b= 8-b
Add b to both sides:
4b=8
Divide both sides by 4:
4b/4=8/4
b=2

Final answer
b=2

The length of a side of a square is 25cm find the area

irinina [24]

Answer:

Area of square is 625 cm².

Explanation:

Side (length) = 25 cm

As we know, all the sides of the square are equal.

Further,

Area of the square = (side) ²

Area = ( 25 )²

Area = 625 cm²

Therefore, area of the square is 625 cm².

The base and sides of a container is made of wood panels. The container does not have a lid. The base and sides are rectangular.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Minimum surface area = $70.77 cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Width of container=x cm

Length of container=2x cm

Volume of container= $54 cm^3$

We have to find the minimum surface areas that this container will have.

Volume of container= $l\times b\times h$

$x\times 2x\times h=54$

$2x^2h=54$

$h=\frac{54}{2x^2}=\frac{27}{x^2}$

Surface area of container= $2(b+l)h+lb$

Because the container does not have lid

Surface area of container= $S=2(2x+x)\times \frac{27}{x^2}+2x\times x$

$S=\frac{162}{x}+2x^2$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$\frac{dS}{dx}=-\frac{162}{x^2}+4x$

$\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1}$

Substitute $\frac{dS}{dx}=0$

$-\frac{162}{x^2}+4x=0$

$4x=\frac{162}{x^2}$

$x^3=\frac{162}{4}=40.5$

$x^3=40.5$

$x=(40.5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$x=3.4$

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$\frac{d^2S}{dx^2}=\frac{324}{x^3}+4$

Substitute x=3.4

$\frac{d^2S}{dx^2}=\frac{324}{(3.4)^3}+4=12.24>0$

Hence, function is minimum at x=3.4

Substitute x=3.4

Then, we get

Minimum surface area = $\frac{162}{(3.4)}+2(3.4)^2=70.77 cm^2$
