First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21. 

                                           x - 5 = 21      ; x = 26

Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.

An open box is to contain a volume of 3 cubic meters. Given that the material forthe sides of the box costs 6 per square meter a
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: total cost = 36/w + 36/l + 9lw

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of the rectangular box is expressed as

Volume = lwh

Where lwh represents the length, width and height of the box respectively.

Since the volume of the box = 3cm³,then

lwh = 3

h = 3/lw

Since the box is open, the surface area would be

2lh + 2wh + lw

Given that the material for the sides of the box costs 6 per square meter, the total cost for the sides is

(2lh × 6) + (2wh × 6)

Substituting h = 3/lw into the above expression, it becomes.

(2l × 3/lw × 6) + (2w× 3/lw × 6)

= 36/w + 36/l

Since the material for the bottom costs 9per square meter, the total cost for the bottom is

9 × lw = 9lw

Therefore, the total cost of the box as a function of the length land width is

36/w + 36/l + 9lw
