First distribute in the 2 on the left side to get 6d+6=7+6d
Then, you would combine the variables to be on one side of the equation by doing -6d. However, this would cancel out the d by leaving you with 0d+6=7. That is the same thing as saying 6=7.
The answer to this equation is no solution because 6 is NOT equal to 7.
The statement "unit cubes with side lengths of 1/2 foot are added to fill the prism with no space remaining" is useless information so you can disregard that. All you need to know to calculate the volume is the length, width, and height.
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (5/2) x 3 x 11/2
Volume = 15/2 x 11/2
Volume = 165/4
Volume = 41.25 ft cubed
A. We are given that each person weighs 150 lb, each gear
per person weighs 10 lb, and a total of 200 pounds of gear for the boat itself.
Since each person only carries one gear, therefore total
weight per person in 160 lb (weight of person + weight of gear).
So let us say that x is the number of persons, the
inequality equation is:
160 x + 200 ≤ 1200
B. There are three groups that wish to rent the boat.
> Solve the inequality equation when x = 4
160 (4) + 200 ≤ 1200
840 ≤ 1200 (TRUE)
> Solve the inequality equation when x = 5
160 (5) + 200 ≤ 1200
1000 ≤ 1200 (TRUE)
> Solve the inequality equation when x = 8
160 (8) + 200 ≤ 1200
1480 ≤ 1200 (FALSE)
So only the 4 people group and 5 people group can safely
run the boat.
C. Find the maximum number of people that may safely use
the boat, solve for x:
160 x + 200 ≤ 1200
160 x ≤ 1000
x ≤ 6.25
Therefore the maximum number of people that can safely
use the boat is 6 people.
