Let x = the width

then

2x = the length

:

The box dimensions: 2x by x by 4

Given the surface area:

2(2x*x) + 2(2x*4) + 2(x*4) = 220

:

4x^2 + 16x + 8x = 220


A quadratic equation:

4x^2 + 24x - 220 = 0

simplify, divide by 4

x^2 + 6x - 55 = 0

Factor

(x+11)(x-5) = 0

The positive solution is what we want here:

x = 5 ft is the width

then

2(5) = 10 ft is the length

:

Find the volume

10 * 5 * 4 = 200 cu/ft is the volume

Given f(x) = 4x + 3 and f(x) = 27, what is x?
Airida [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x+3. f(x)=27

so 27=4x+3

27-3 =4x

24=4x

x=24/4

x=6

Y=-1/4x-5 and 2x+8y=56 determine if paralllel ,nethier or perpendicular
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

In the slope-intercept form (y=mx +c), the coefficient of x tells us the slope of the line.

2x +8y= 56

Let's rewrite this equation into the slope-intercept form.

8y= -2x +56

Dividing both sides by 8:

y=  -  \frac{2}{8} x +  \frac{56}{8}

y =  -  \frac{1}{4} x + 7

Slope= -¼

y= -¼x -5

Slope= -¼

Since both lines have the same slope, they are parallel to each other.
