Answer:

240 = w (2w − 4) (w − 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism is width times length times height.

V = wlh

Given:

V = 240

l = 2w − 4

h = w − 1

Substituting:

240 = w (2w − 4) (w − 1)

Answer:

2w^{3}-6w^{2}+4w=240

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and height are given in terms of the width. Width =w; Length =(2w−4); Height =(w−1); and the Volume is equal to the product of the three. Therefore, we can set up the equation as follows:

w×(2w−4)×(w−1)=240

To finish, we distribute and combine like terms:

(2w^{2}−4w)×(w−1)=240

2w^{3}−2w^{2}−4w^{2}+4w=240

2w^{2}−6w^{2}+4w=240

Therefore, 2w^{3}−6w^{2}+4w=240 is our equation for the dimensions of the dumpster in terms of w.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

-1.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's figure out where the ant is after each step.

Step 1

Start at      +3.0

Move left  <u> - 1.5 </u>

Now at       +1.5

Step  2

Start at           +1.5

Move right  <u> + 4.9 </u>

Now at         +6.4

Step 3

Start at      +6.4

Move left <u> - 7.6 </u>

Now at      -1.2

The ant is now at -1.2 cm.
