Answer:

The value of x  = 3.

Length = 4 feet and Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the box = 2 ft

Length of the box = (3x-5) ft

Width of the box  = (2x-1) ft

Volume of the box = 40 cubic feet

Now, VOLUME OF CUBE  = LENGTH x WIDTH x HEIGHT

\implies 40 = 2 \times (3x-5) \times (2x-1)\\\implies 20 = 3x(2x-1)) -5 (2x-1) = 6x^2 - 3x -10x +5  = 6x^2 - 13x + 5\\\implies  6x^2 - 13x -15 = 0

Now, solving for the value of x, we get:

6x^2 -13 x - 15  = 6x^2 -18x + 5x - 15 = 0\\\implies6x(x-3) + 5(x-3) = 0\\\implies (x-3)(6x+5) = 0

⇒ Either x-3 = 0, or ( 6x+5) = 0

⇒ Either x  = 3, or x = -5/6

As x = SIDE OF A CUBE ,so it CANNOT be negative.

⇒x  = 3

So, length = (3x-5)  = 3(3) -5 = 9-5 = 4 units

Width = (2x-1) = 2(3) -1  = 5 units

What is the x-intercept for the equation -2x + 5y = -10
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The x-intercept is at the point (5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 5y = -10

At the x intercept y = 0 so we substitute y = 0 into the given equation:

-2x + 5(0) = -10

-2x = -10

x = 5.

mixer [17]
Simple Interest, I = PRT/100

3240 = 18 000 * R * 6 /100

3240 = 180*R*6

3240 / (180*6) = R          Use your calculator

3 = R

The annual interest rate is 3%.

Write the inequality to represent the situation: "x can be no more than 5." Copy/paste the symbols if you need to: &lt; &gt; ≤ ≥
Sophie [7]

Answer:

x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

If you have a line under the < or > sign, it means x can be less than OR EQUAL TO, since x has to be less than 5, neither of those signs can work. Now, < means less than and > means greater than. For this, x < 5 is the correct answer because we know that x has to be less than 5.

I hope this helps :)
