Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation: first multiply 12x4x8 for jakes gift. that is 384
then make each of the dimensions twice as large. so havanas dimensions would be. 24x8x16
24x8x16=3,072
last divide 3,072 by 384 and the answer would be 8
Havana's box is 8 times larger.
Answer:
x = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7x + 156 = 9x + 184
Reorder the terms:
156 + 7x = 9x + 184
Reorder the terms:
156 + 7x = 184 + 9x
Solving
156 + 7x = 184 + 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
156 + 7x + -9x = 184 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 7x + -9x = -2x
156 + -2x = 184 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
156 + -2x = 184 + 0
156 + -2x = 184
Add '-156' to each side of the equation.
156 + -156 + -2x = 184 + -156
Combine like terms: 156 + -156 = 0
0 + -2x = 184 + -156
-2x = 184 + -156
Combine like terms: 184 + -156 = 28
-2x = 28
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -14
Simplifying
x = -14
Add the five to each side.
then square it to get rid of the square root
2x+13=(5+x)^2
2x+13=x^2+10x+25
2x=x^2+10x+12
x^2+8x+12=0
(x+6)(x+2)
x+6=0
x+2=0
answers are -2 and -6, however, when pluging -6 in it doesnt work, so it is only -2.
