Answer:
The original dimensions of the piece of metal are
Length: 36 inches
Width: 21 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length pf the piece of metal
y ----> the original width pf the piece of metal
we know that
----> equation A
The volume of the box is equal to

we have



substitute in the formula of volume
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B

solve for y


Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=21
Find the value of x

therefore
The original dimensions of the piece of metal are
Length: 36 inches
Width: 21 inches
Answer:
- 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Average is calculated as
average = 
Thus for the given 10 numbers we have
= - 5 ( multiply both sides by 10 )
total = - 50
let the number added be x, then
= - 6 ( multiply both sides by 11 )
total + x = - 66, that is
- 50 + x = - 66 ( add 50 to both sides )
x = - 16
The new number is - 16
