Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(-3 x)/2 - 9 = -27

Put each term in (-3 x)/2 - 9 over the common denominator 2: (-3 x)/2 - 9 = (-18)/2 - (3 x)/2:

(-18)/2 - (3 x)/2 = -27

(-18)/2 - (3 x)/2 = (-3 x - 18)/2:

(-3 x - 18)/2 = -27

Multiply both sides of (-3 x - 18)/2 = -27 by 2:

(2 (-3 x - 18))/2 = -27×2

(2 (-3 x - 18))/2 = 2/2×(-3 x - 18) = -3 x - 18:

-3 x - 18 = -27×2

2 (-27) = -54:

-3 x - 18 = -54

Add 18 to both sides:

(18 - 18) - 3 x = 18 - 54

18 - 18 = 0:

-3 x = 18 - 54

18 - 54 = -36:

-3 x = -36

Divide both sides of -3 x = -36 by -3:

(-3 x)/(-3) = (-36)/(-3)

(-3)/(-3) = 1:

x = (-36)/(-3)

The gcd of -36 and -3 is -3, so (-36)/(-3) = (-3×12)/(-3×1) = (-3)/(-3)×12 = 12:

Answer:  x = 12

Solve the problem:
stepan [7]

volume of the box is 675 cubic inches

A machine produces open boxes using square sheets of plastic.

It is a square sheet so length and width are same

Lets assume length as x so width is also x

The machine cuts equal-sized squares measuring 3 inches on a side from each corner of the sheet.

After turning up the sides the height of the box becomes 3 inches

We know the volume of a box formula

Volume = Length * width * height

We know length is  x , width is x  and height = 3

So V = x * x * 3

Given volume = 675 cubic inches

675 = x * x * 3

675 = x^2* 3

Divide by 3 on both sides

225 = x^2

Now we take square root on both sides

x = 15

the length of one side of the open box is 15 inches.
