Answer: V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have a rectangular cardboard sheet, and we cut four squares of side length x in each corner so we can make a box.
Remember that for a box of length L, width W and height H, the volume is:
V = L*W*H
In this case, the length initially is 12 inches, but we remove (from each end) x inches of the length, then the length of the box will be:
L = 12 in - 2*x
For the width we have a similar case:
W = 8in - 2*x
And te height of the box will be equal to x, then:
H = x
This means that the volume is:
V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x
Here we can see the connection between the cutout and the volume of the box
Answer:
She should have substituted y = 17 - 2x in the first equation
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4y = 33
2x + y = 17
y = 17 - 2x
3x + 4(17 - 2x) = 33
3x + 68 - 8x = 33
5x = 35
x = 7
y = 17 - 2(7)
y = 3
x = 7, y = 3
Only one solution
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
54/6 is 9. This is the only correct one.
