The answer is

Final result :

x - 2
Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

1
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 1 :

2 1
((—•x)-7)+((—•x)+5)
3 3
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

5 5 • 3
5 = — = —————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x + 5 • 3 x + 15
————————— = ——————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 2 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————
3 3
Step 3 :

2
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 3 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————
3 3
Step 4 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

7 7 • 3
7 = — = —————
1 3
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

2x - (7 • 3) 2x - 21
———————————— = ———————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 4 :

(2x - 21) (x + 15)
————————— + ————————
3 3
Step 5 :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(2x-21) + (x+15) 3x - 6
———————————————— = ——————
3 3
Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2)

Final result :

x - 2

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
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Therefore the dimension of the cuboid is 8 inches×4 inches ×6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuboid : A cuboid is a three dimension shape. The length ,breadth and height of a cuboid are not same.

  • A cuboid has 6 faces.
  • A cuboid contains 8 vertices.
  • A cuboid contains 12 edges .
  • The total surface area of a cuboid is

           = 2(length×breadth+breadth×height+length×height) square units

  • The dimension of a cuboid is written as length×breadth×height.
  • The volume is( length×breadth×height) cubic units

Given that the volume of the box is 192 cubic inches.

Let x inches be the width of the cuboid.

Since the length is twice as long as its width.

Then length = 2x inches

Again height is 2 inches longer than width.

Then height = (x+2) inches.

Therefore the volume of the cuboid is

=[x\times 2x\times (x+2)]   cubic inches

=[2x^2(x+2)]     cubic inches

=(2x^3+4x^2)     cubic inches

According to the problem,

2x^3+4x^2=192

\Rightarrow 2x^3+4x^2-192=0

\Rightarrow 2(x^3+2x^2-96)=0

\Rightarrow (x^3+2x^2-96)=0

\Rightarrow x^3-4x^2+6x^2-24x+24x-96=0

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

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

Therefore x=4

Since the all zeros of x²+6x+24 =0 is negative.

Therefore breadth = 4 inches

 length=(2×4) inches=8 inches

 and height = (4+2)inches = 6 inches.

Therefore the dimension of the cuboid is 8 inches×4 inches ×6 inches.
