U cant simplify it, this fraction 11/40 is simplified to the max.
Replace all the variables that we know the value for.
-3 = |x|
Make to equations from this one.
-3 = x and -3 = -(x)
Solve the first one.
-3 = x
x = -3 <-- Switch it around
-3 = -(x)
-(x) = -3 <-- Switch it around
x = 3 <-- Divide both sides by -1
So, there are two possible answers, -3 and 3.
Answer:

The domain for x is all real numbers greater than zero and less than 5 com
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>The question is</u></em>
What is the volume of the open top box as a function of the side length x in cm of the square cutouts?
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Let
x -----> the side length in cm of the square cutouts
we know that
The volume of the open top box is

we have



substitute

Find the domain for x
we know that

so
The domain is the interval (0,5)
The domain is all real numbers greater than zero and less than 5 cm
therefore
The volume of the open top box as a function of the side length x in cm of the square cutouts is

Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 5
