The surface area S of a cube is equal to the sum of the areas of the 6 square faces that form the cube. We want to paint the cub

e and need to know how many square units of paint to purchase. If each face has side length s, then the formula S = 6s2 can be used to find the surface area of the cube. The length of a side is indicated in the cube below( s = x - 5). The surface area of the cube is 1944 units2. What is the value of x? SHOW and EXPLAIN each of the steps you used to solve.

Answer: x equals 23

Step-by-step explanation: The information available to us is as follows;

Surface area of the cube = 1944

Side length of the cube = x - 5

Note however that the surface area is also derived as S = 6s²

In order to calculate the value of s we would start by substituting for the known values as follows;

S = 6s²

1944 = 6[(x - 5)²

1944 = 6[(x² - 10x + 25)]

By cross multiplication we now have

1944/6 = (x² - 10x + 25)

324 = x² - 10x + 25

Collect like terms and we now have;

x² - 10x -299 = 0

By factorization we now have;

(x - 23) (x + 13) = 0

Therefore, x - 23 = 0 and hence x = 23

OR

x + 13 = 0 and hence x = -13

Knowing that the length of the side is not a negative number, we would choose x = 23.

**(Having been given that x = 23,

s = x - 5

s = 23 - 5

s = 18)**

elect the correct answer. graph A graph B graph C graph D A credit card company uses these rules to calculate the minimum amount
laila [671]

The graph that correctly shows the minimum amount due for a credit amount (x)  is graph B.

<h3>How to determine the graph with the minimum amount due?</h3>

First of all, we would assign a variable to the different amount of money as follows:

  • Let x be the credit amount.
  • Let y be the minimum amount due.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

For a bill of less than $100, the entire amount is due:

0 ≤ x < $100, therefore, y = x

For a bill of at least $100 but less than $500, the minimum due is $100: $100 ≤ x < $500, therefore, y = 100

For a bill of at least $500 but less than $1,000, the minimum due is $300:

$500 ≤ x < $1000, therefore, y = $300

For a bill of $1,000 or more, the minimum due is $500:

Since the credit limit is equal to $2000, we have $1000 ≤ x < $2000 and y = $500

In conclusion, the graph that correctly shows the minimum amount due for a credit amount (x)  is graph B.
