1. You must use the formula for calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, which is:

 V=(h)(l)(w)

 V: It is the volumen of the rectangular prism (V=1152 inches³).
 h: It is the height of the rectangular prism (h=18-w).
 l:It is the lenght of the rectangular prism (l=2w+4).

 2. When you substitute these calues into the formula, you obtain:

 V=(h)(l)(w)
 1152=(18-w)(2w+4)(w)
 (18-w)(2w+4)(w)-1152=0

 3. Then, you should mutiply them:

 36w²-2w³+72w-4w²-1152=0
 32w²-2w³+72w-1152=0

 4. When you factor, you obtain:

 2(w-16)(w-6)(w+6)

 w1=16
 w2=6
 w3=-6

 5. The problem says that the height is greater than the width, therefore, the widht is:

 w=6 inches

 6. The length is:

 l=2w+4
 l=2(6)+4
 l=16 inches

 7. And the height is:

 h=18-w
 h=18-6
 h=12 inches

 What are the dimensions of the bag?

 The dimensions of the bag are:

 l=16 inches
 h=12 inches
 w=6 inches

Solve the equation <br> (If possible please show work)
deff fn [24]

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

-2(-x-4)+3=-7-4x

First, distribute the left side:

-2(-x)-2(-4)+3=-7-4x\\2x+8+3=-7-4x

Add values on the left side:

2x+11=-7-4x

Add 7 to both sides. The right side cancels:

(2x+11)+7=(-7-4x)+7\\2x+18=-4x

Subtract 2x from both sides. The left side cancels:

(2x+18)-2x=(-4x)-2x\\18=-6x

Divide both sides by -6:

(-6x)/-6=18/-6\\x=-3

Therefore, x equals -3.
