A rectangular box with a square base is open at the top and has a volume of 12 cubic feet. Each side of the base has a length of

x feet. Which of the following expresses the surface area, S, in square feet, of the outside of the box in terms of x?
a) S=5x^{2}
b) S= \frac{12}{ x^{2} }
c) S= x^{2} + \frac{24}{x}
d) S= x^{2} + \frac{48}{x}
e)S= x^{2} + \frac{48}{ x^{2} }

We know that the side lengths of the square base are: x * x. The volume is 12, so for now, let's say that y is the other side length. Then, x * x * y = 12. We can solve for y: y = 12/x^2. Now, we find the surface area of the 5 sides.

Four of the sides have the same area: x * (12/x^2) = 12/x, so we multiply this by 4: 48/x.

The last side is the base: x * x = x^2.

We add 48/x to x^2:

x^2 + 48/x

So, the answer is the fourth choice, (d).

Solve the equation and enter the value of x below 2(x+6)=-10
malfutka [58]

Answer:

\huge \boxed{x=-11}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

\displaystyle \frac{2(x+6)}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}

Then, solve.

\displaystyle x+6=-5

Subtract by 6 from both sides of equation.

\displaystyle x+6-6=-5-6

Solve to find the answer.

\displaystyle x=-11, which is our answer.
