A box has a volume of 192 cubic inches, a length that is twice as long as its width, and a height that is 2 inches greater than

the width. What are the dimensions of this box? Give your answer in the form l,w,h as comma separated values. For example if the box has a length of 1, a width of 2, and a height of 3, you would submit the answer 1,2,3.

Answer:

Length = 8 inches

Width = 4 inches

Height = 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box = 192 cubic inches

Volume of a box = length × width × height

Let

Width = x

Length = 2x

Height = x + 2

Volume of a box = length × width × height

192 = 2x * x * (x + 2)

192 = 2x^2 (x + 2)

192 = 2x^3 + 4x^2

Divide through by 2

96 = x^3 + 2x^2

Subtract 96 from both sides

x ^3 + 2x^2 - 96 = 0

Factorise

(x - 4) (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

x^2 + 6x + 24 has no real x-value

So,

Divide both sides by (x^2 + 6x + 24).

0 ÷ (x^2 + 6x + 24) = 0

So,

(x - 4) = 0

x = 4

Width = x = 4 inches

Length = 2x

= 2(4)

= 8 inches

Height = x + 2

= 4 + 2

= 6 inches

Check:

Volume of a box = length × width × height

= (8 * 4 * 6) inches

= 192 inches

2(x-3)-12 = -4<br> How do I solve this equations
deff fn [24]

Answer:

x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step: Multiply the factor (outside number) with the numbers and variable(s) in the box. This results in 2(x-3) = 2x-6

2nd Step: continue the rest of the equation since there are no more brackets left so 2x-6-12=-4

3rd Step: send -12 to the other side of the equation (side changes sign changes) so it will become 2x-6=-4+12    (You are actually supposed to make the variable alone on one side of the equation so that you would be able to calculate its value)

4th step: 2x-6=8 ---> send -6 to the other side as well which will then result in 2x=14

5th step: since 2 is being multiplied by x, when you send it to the other side (to make x alone) you will divide 14 by 2 ( sign of 2 changes from multiplication to division)

Final Step: x=7

A jet ski costs $925 and depreciates by 15% each year. How much will
ivann1987 [24]
Initial cost of the jet ski = $925
Percentage of depreciation per year = 15%
Number of years after which the cost of the jetski has to be determined = 7
Then
Depreciated Value = Initial cost( 1 - percentage of depreciation) ^number of years
                              = 925( 1 - 15%)^7
                              = 925( 1 - 15/100)^7
                              = 925(1 - 0.15)^7
                              = 925(0.85)^7
                              = 925 *(0.85)^7
                              = 925 * 0.3206
                              = 296.53 dollars
So the depreciated cost of the jet ski after 7 years will be $296.53
