Label the 3 distinct sides of the box. I arbitrarily chose the letters a, b and c.
Use the info about areas as follows:
ab=54 in^2
ac=90 in^2
bc=60 in^2
Here you have 3 equations in 3 unknowns (a, b and c), which is enough info to use to determine a, b and c. Then the volume of the box is a*b*c.
Example: bc = 90, but c = 60/b. You could subst. 60/b for c in the 2nd and 3rd equation, which will eliminate c completely and leave you with 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
Continuing this procedure, I determined that a=9, b=6 and c=10. Thus, the volume of the box is V = 9*6*10 = 540 cubic inches (answer)
Kylie's first month collection, a1= $ 145
Second month collection , a2= $145+ 20
Third month collection, a3 = $145 +2*20
.

.
.
so for n months collection = an-1+20
We get an= 20 + an-1 and a1=145
Step-by-step explanation:
please don't understand the question. will be happy if you take a shot of it.
Thanks
