Possible dimension of a box with a volume of 100 cubic cm
10 x 10 x 1 = 100
10 x 5 x 2 = 100
5 x 5 x 4 = 100

Surface area:
10 x 10 x 1 dimensions: 
10 x 10 = 100 x 2 = 200 sq.cm
10 x 1 = 10 x 4 = 40 sq. cm
240 sq. cm * $0.05 / 100 sq.cm = $0.12 per box
0.12 per box * 100 boxes = $12

10 x 5 x 2 dimension
10 x 5 = 50 x 2 = 100 sq. cm
10 x 2 = 20 x 2 = 40 sq. cm
5 x 2 = 10 x 2 = 20 sq. cm
160 sq. cm * $0.05/100 sq. cm = $0. 08 per box
0.08 per box * 100 boxes = $8

5 x 5 x 4 dimension
5 x 5 = 25 x 2 = 50 sq. cm
5 x 4 = 20 x 4 = 80 sq. cm
130 sq. cm * $0.05/100 sq. cm = $0.065 per box
0.065 per box * 100 boxes = $6.50

The best dimension to use to have the least cost to make 100 boxes is 5 x 5 x 4. It only costs $6.50 to make 100 boxes.

Find the value of a and b if root3-1/root3+1+ root3+1/root3-1=a+root3 b​
Digiron [165]

Answer:

a=4 and b = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : \dfrac{\sqrt 3 -1}{\sqrt 3+1}+\dfrac{\sqrt 3+1}{\sqrt 3-1}=a+\sqrt 3 b

To find, The value of a and b

Solution,

Solving LHS of the given equation,

\dfrac{(\sqrt 3-1)^2+(\sqrt3+1)^2}{(\sqrt 3+1)(\sqrt 3-1)}=a+\sqrt 3 b

Since,

(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\\\\(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab\\\\(a-b)(a+b)=a^2+b^2

So,

\dfrac{3+1-2\sqrt 3+3+1+2\sqrt 3}{3-1}=a+\sqrt 3 b\\\\4=a+\sqrt 3 b

or

4+0=a+\sqrt 3 b

On comparing we get :

a = 4 and b = 0

HELP ME PLEASE!!
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Using a system of equation, we have that:

a)

  • x, which is the cost of on-site service.
  • y, which is the cost of at-store service.
  • z, which is the cost of by-mail service.

b)

The system is:

x = 3y

z = y - 10

15x + 40y + 5z = 3100

c)

The cost of one on-site repair service is of $90.

Item a:

The variables are:

  • x, which is the cost of on-site service.
  • y, which is the cost of at-store service.
  • z, which is the cost of by-mail service.

Item b:

On-site service costs <u>3 times as much as at-store service</u>, thus:

x = 3y

By mail service costs <u>$10 less than at-store</u>  service, thus:

z = y - 10

Last week, the shop completed <u>15 services on-site, 40 services at-store, and 5 services by mail for total sales of $3100</u>, thus:

15x + 40y + 5z = 3100

The system is:

x = 3y

z = y - 10

15x + 40y + 5z = 3100

Item c:

  • The cost of one on-site repair service is x.
  • First, replacing the first two equations into the third, we find y, and then with it we find x.

15x + 40y + 5z = 3100

15(4y) + 40y + 5(y - 10) = 3100

60y + 40y + 5y = 3150

105y = 3150

y = \frac{3150}{105}

y = 30

Then

x = 3y = 3(30) = 90

The cost of one on-site repair service is of $90.

Can someone please help me with this question?? It’s really hard and once you understand it, can you please give me an explanati
Thepotemich [5.8K]

We want to subtract 8x + 3 from -2x+5. We can create an expression to represent this.

-2x + 5 - (8x + 3).


After this, lets distribute the - sign (think of this like expanding something with -1).

-2x + 5 - 8x - 3


Lastly, we just need to combine like terms.

-2x + 5 - 8x - 3


Combine the 5 and -3 to get 2.

-2x + 2 - 8x


Combine the -2x and -8x to get -10x.

-10x + 2


The final answer to the question is therefore A.

2:x and 12:18 a-3, b-4, c-6
nirvana33 [79]

The Corrected Problem is :

2:x and 12:18 identify the value of x that makes each pair of ratios equivalent .

Solution:

If a pair of Ratios are equivalent then we can write

\frac{2}{x}=\frac{12}{18}\\ \\ \text{Simplify we get}\\ \\ 12x=36\\ \\ \text{Divide both the sides by 12 we get}\ \\ \\ \frac{12x}{12}=\frac{36}{12}\\ \\  x=3\\ \\ \text{Hence the required value of x is 3}\\

My metric bolt measures .780 with calipers over the threads what size is it
attashe74 [19]
Bolts are usually classified in terms of two types of measurements: the metric system and the imperial system. In calipers, the metric system is in units of millimeters, while the imperial system is in units of inches. For example, when a bolt is sized as 12 × 1.25 in the metric system, that means the bolt thread diameter measures 12 mm, and the thread pitch measures 1.25 mm.

So, if your metric bolt measures 0.78 over the threads, that means that the size of the bolt is 0.78 mm in thread pitch. The attached picture shows how you measure the thread pitch.
