Answer:
The dimensions of a rectangular prism are 21 in. by 20 in. by 19 in.
To find:
The volume of the rectangular prism.
Solution:
Let the length, breadth and height are 21 in, 20 in and 19 in respectively.
Volume of the rectangular prism is
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 7980 cubic inches.
= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12
= > x² + ( 4 + 3 )x + 12 = 12
= > x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = 12
= > x( x + 4 ) + 3( x + 4 ) = 12
= > ( x + 4 ) ( x + 3 ) = 12
Percy did correct till this step. But by doing like this, Percy can't get the values of the variable x.
Percy should follow the following steps :
= > x² + 7x + 12 = 12
Add -12 on both sides,
= > x² + 7x + 12 - 12 = 12 - 12
= > x² + 7x = 0
= > x( x + 7 ) = 0
= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x + 7 = 0 )
= > ( x = 0 ) or ( x = - 7 )
Hence, required value(s) of x is 0 or -7
