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

A variable needs to be eliminated to solve
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

(7, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

- 4x + y = - 35 → (1)

- 2x - y = - 7 → (2)

adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the y- term

(- 4x - 2x) + (y - y) = - 35 - 7

- 6x + 0 = - 42

- 6x = - 42 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = 7

substitute x = 7 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

substituting into (1)

- 4(7) + y = - 35

- 28 + y = - 35 ( add 28 to both sides )

y = - 7

solution is (7, - 7 )

Round 8.87689068442 to 2 decimal places.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The answer is 8.88; You look at the number that comes after the second number (the second place after the decimal) and if that number is 5 or above then you round the second number up. (Sorry if it doesn't make sense, but that's the best I can explain it).

Let f={(1,2),(2,3),(5,6),(7,8) evaluate f(2)and f(5)?​
Flauer [41]

Given:

f=\{(1,2),(2,3),(5,6),(7,8)\}

To find:

The values of f(2) and f(5).

Solution:

If an ordered pair (x,y) is in the function f, then f(x)=y.

In the given set of ordered pairs one ordered pair is (2,3). So, by using the above definition, we get

f(2)=3

In the given set of ordered pairs one ordered pair is (5,6). So, by using the above definition, we get

f(5)=6

Therefore, the value of f(2) is 3 and the value of f(5) is 6.
