Answer:

X=-27

Step-by-step explanation:

So -9x=150+93

Or -9x=243

So x=-27

Add 7 to both sides

-93 = 150 + 2x + 7x

Simplify 150 + 2x + 7x to 150 + 9x

-93 = 150 + 9x

Subtract 150 from both sides

-93 - 150 = 9x

Simplify -93 - 150 to -243

-243 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9

-243/9 = x

Simplify 243/9 to 27

-27 = x

Switch sides

x = -27

Mom and Dad have four daughters, and each daughter has one brother. How many people are in the family?

klemol [59]

I would would say 7.

Mom + Dad + daughter + daughter + daughter + daughter + plus one brother = 7

Since they are all sisters and it says each one has one brother I think that would mean 7. That's just my comprehension of the question, though I may 100% wrong.

a company that manufactures and ships canned vegetables is designing boxes in the shape of rectangular prisms to meet specific r

sertanlavr [38]

In order to find the smallest amount of cardboard needed, you need to find the total surface area of the rectangular prism.

Therefore, you need to understand how the cans are positioned in order to find the dimensions of the boxes: two layers of cans mean that the height is
h = 2 · 5 = 10 in

The other two dimensions depend on how many rows of how many cans you decide to place, the possibilities are 1×12, 2×6, 3×4, 4×3, 6×2, 12×1.
The smallest box possible will be the one in which the cans are placed 3×4 (or 4×3), therefore the dimensions will be:
a = 3 · 3 = 9in
b = 3 · 4 = 12in

Now, you can calculate the total surface area:
A = 2·(a·b + a·h + b·h)
 = 2·(9·12 + 9·10 + 12·10)
 = 2·(108 + 90 + 120)
 = 2·318
 = 636in²

Hence, the smallest amount of carboard needed for the boxes is 636 square inches.

You need to construct an open-top rectangular box with a square base that must hold a volume of exactly 475 cm3. The material fo

zepelin [54]

Answer:

The dimensions of the box are:

x = 8,93 cm and h = 5,95 cm

C(min) = 850,69 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is:

V = x²*h where x is the side of the square base and h the height

then h = V/ x² ⇒ h = 475 / x²
