Consider a "rectangular prism".
________________________________________________
The formula for the Volume of a rectangular prism:
________________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
_________________________________________________
in which:
V = volume = 120 in.³ ;
L = length = 8 in.
w = width = ??
h = height = 1.5 in.
____________________________________________
We want to solve for "w" (width) ;
____________________________________________
Given the formula:
____________________________________________
V = L * w * h ;
____________________________________________
Rewrite the formula; by dividing EACH SIDE of the equation by
"(L * h)" ; to isolate "w" on one side of the equation;
and to solve for "w" ;
_____________________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = ( L * w * h) / (L * h) ;
to get:
_________________________________
→ V / (L * h) = w ;
↔ w = V / (L * h) ;
_________________________________
Plug in our given values for "V", "L"; and "h"; to solve for "w" ;
____________________________________________________
→ w = (120 in.³) / (8 in. * 1.5 in.) ;
→ w = (120 in.³) / (12 in.²) ;
→ w = (120/12) in. = 10 in.

Answer: 35 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
hypotenuse = 5*y in
cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in
cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in
The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:
5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76
5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76
We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.
The shorter leg is x + 3, then:
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
Then we have the equations:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.
x = 5*y - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20
x = 5*y - 20
Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76
15*y - 40 + 13 = 76
15*y - 29 = 76
15*y = 76 + 29 = 105
and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:
3*(5*y) = 105
5*y = 105/3 = 35
5*y = 35
Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.
Answer: 54 and welcome
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the option A.
The elimination method consist is adding the two equations in a way that one variable be eliminated..
In order to do that you might have to manipulate on of the equations prior to add the two equations.
In this case, ff you multiply the second equation by - 1 you will get
- x - y = - 4
which you can add to the first equation
2x + y = 8 to eliminate the y.
