Answer:
16. 30 * (30+12)/4*(L)*20
17. Volume = 6300 * Length of rectangular prism
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of a rectangular prism is <u>30 cm</u>. This is <u>12 more than one-fourth of the length</u>. Find the volume of the prism, given the <u>height is 20 cm</u>.
Let L = length of rectangular prisim W = width and H = height
16.
Volume of a rectangular prism is width * length * height
30 * (30+12)/4*(L)*20
17.
= 30 * (30+12)1/4(L)*20
= 30 * (42/4)*L * 20
= 600 * 10.5 * L
= 6300 * L
Volume = 6300 * Length of rectangular prism
Answer:
x = - 2, x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 
The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.
x² - 7x - 18 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 2) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9
The excluded values are x = - 2, x = 9
First I would change the descriptions of the numbers into expressions.
first number is n
second number is n + 6
third number is 4n (4 x n)
Then you would insert these expressions into an equation and isolate n.
n + n + 6 + 4n = 144
n + n + 4n = 144 - 6
6n = 138
n = 138/6
n = 23
Lastly, you would plug in this value into all of the expressions.
first number is 23
second number is 23 + 6 = 29
third number is 4(23) = 92
Therefore, the numbers are 23, 29, and 92.
So,
Let x represent Joe's weight and y represent Jeff's weight.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
x = 2y - 20
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
(y + 10) + x = 250
We now have our two open sentences.
x = 2y - 20
(y + 10) + x = 250
Get rid of parentheses.
x = 2y - 20
x + y + 10 = 250
We will use Elimination by Substitution.
2y - 20 + y + 10 = 250
Collect Like Terms.
3y - 10 = 250
Add 10 to both sides.
3y = 260
Divide both sides by 3.

Substitute again.

Multiply.

Subtract.

Check.
"Joe weighs 20 lbs. less than twice Jeff's weight."
Jeff's weight times two is 173 and one-third.
20 lbs. less than that is 153 and one-third lbs. Check.
"If Jeff would gain 10 lbs., then together they would weigh 250 lbs."
86 and two-thirds + 10 = 96 and two-thirds.
96 and two-thirds + 153 and one-third equals 250 lbs. Check.
