Answer:
y = 6x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence is a linear function. This means it steadily increases or decreases through addition/subtraction by a constant amount. Here the sequence grows by adding 6 each time.
-11 + 6 = -5
-5 + 6 = 1
1 + 6 = 7
etc....
Since this is linear, its equation has the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is m = 6 and b = -11.
y = 6x - 11
Let x be the width of the cardboard (which means the length of the cardboard is x+88), then the dimensions of the box are:
Length = [(x + 88) - 2(33)]
Width = x - 2(33)
Heighth = 33
Volume = length · width · heighth
144,144 = [(x + 88) - 2(33)] · [x - 2(33)] · 33
144,144 = (x+22)(x-66)(33)
4368 = (x+22)(x-66)
4368 = x² - 44x - 1452
0 = x² - 44x - 5820
use the quadratic formula to calculate that x = 101
Answer: cardboard width = 101, cardboard length = 189
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 8 = 3x - 4
In order to solve for x, we must isolate x. We can do this by moving all of the numbers with "x" in it to the left side of the equal side, and move everything else to the right of it!
Let's start off by subtracting 8 from both sides. Remember : what you do to one side, you must do it to the other.
2x + 8 - 8 = 3x - 4 - 8
Simplify!
2x = 3x - 12
Now, let's subtract 3x from both sides.
2x - 3x = 3x - 12 - 3x
Simplify!
-x = -12
Divide both sides by -1.
-x ÷ -1 = -12 ÷ -1
Simplify.
x = 12
Well the formula for finding the volume of rectangular prisms, is length x width x height, so any 3 numbers multiplied by each other that equal 64 could be the measurements. For example, a length of 2 units, height of 2 units and a width of 16 units has a volume of 64 so that could be your answer.
