X=205 y=41 You come across these answers by making an equation or system of equations based on the word problem given. 1. x+y=246 and 2. x÷y=5 . The you would multiply by y on both sides and get x=5y . Then you would substitute for x in the first equation and get (5y)+y=246 . Then you would get 6y=246 . Them you would divide by 6 on both sides and get y=246÷6 . Then you would get y=41. Then you would plug the y value into the first equation. You would get that x+(41)= 246, subtract on both sides and get x=246-41, then you would get an answer of x=205.

I need the function for the volume of the box for number 1
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectanguiar shape like this one is V = L * W * H, where the letters represent Length, Width and Height.  Here L is the longest dimension and is 28 - 2x; W is the width and is 22-2x; and finally, x is the height.  Thus, the volume of this box must be

V(x) = (28 - 2x)*(22 - 2x)*x

and we want to maximize V(x).  

One way of doing that is to graph V(x) and look for any local maximum of the graph.  We'd want to determine the value of x for which V(x) is a maximum.

Another way, for those who know some calculus, is to use the first and second derivatives to identify the value of  x at which V is at a maximum.

I have provided the function that you requested.  If you'd like for us to go all the way to a solution, please repost your question.
