Step-by-step explanation:
A quadrilateral is made up of four sides. This means the sum of all the side equals 43. This is given as;
(x + 7) + (x² - 2x
) + (x +3) + (2x - 2) = 43
x² - 2x + 4x + 8 = 43
x² - 2x - 35 = 0
Upon solving for x by factorization;
( x - 5) ( x + 7) = 0
The values of x are; 5 and - 7
Since the side of shape cannot have a negative value, -7 is ignored.
x = 5
The length of the sides are;
- X+7 = 5 + 7 = 12
- x² - 2x = 5² - 2(5) = 25 - 10 = 15
- X+3 = 5 + 3 = 8
2x-2 = 2(5) - 2 = 10 -2 = 8
Check:
8 + 8 + 15 + 12 = 43

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Length = x
width = x - 7
height = x - 10
volume = 600 in^3
Volume = L * w * h
600 = x * (x - 7)*(x - 10)
600 = x * (x^2 - 17x + 70)
600 = x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x
x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x - 600 = 0
There is a genius somewhere that could solve this using algebra. The rest of us have 2 choices. We can graph it (see below) or we could use a program that solves it for us. I'll do both for you.
a = 1
b = - 17
c = 70
d = - 600
There is only 1 real solution: x = 15
L = 15
w = 8
h = 5
That has to be one of the ugliest graphs made. It does into the hundreds of thousands and it still looks like a straight line. Trust me. It's not.
