The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this:

. When we do that multiplication, we have

. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0.

. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier:

. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.

Answer:
a). Distance from the surface of miner elevator=532 feet, Distance from the surface of equipment elevator=60 feet
b). The miner elevator is deeper since it is 472 feet deeper than the equipment elevator
Step-by-step explanation:
Equipment elevator speed=4 feet per second
Miner elevator=14 feet per second
Total time of miner elevator=(23+15)=38 seconds
Total time of equipment elevator=15 seconds
a). Distance from the surface of each elevator
Distance from the surface of miner elevator=Miner Speed×Miner Time
Distance=(14×38)=532 feet
Distance from the surface of equipment elevator=Equipment Speed×Equipment Time
Distance=(15×4)=60 feet
b). Which elevator is deeper
Distance from the surface of miner elevator=532 feet
Distance from the surface of equipment elevator= 60 feet
Difference=(532-60)=472 feet
The miner elevator is deeper since it is 472 feet deeper than the equipment elevator
Are the cupcakes 37 dollars each or is it 37 dollars for 20 cupcakes?
if they are $37 each then sally can buy 2 cupcakes
if they are $37 for 20 then sally can buy 40 cupcakes
(y2-y1)÷(x2-x1) so 11.5-2.5 divided by -2.6+5.6 and the answer is 3
