An aquarium has dimensions 2x feet, (x – 1) feet, and (x + 2) feet. The aquarium volume must be no more than 280 cubic feet.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$x^3+x^2-2x\leq140$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an algebra problem, and we are expected to inequality for the volume of the aquarium.

Given that the

length= 2x

width=(x – 1)

heigth= (x + 2)

and the volume= 280 ft^3

the inequality expression for the volume is

$2x*(x -1) * (x + 2) \leq 280\\\\$

open the brackets

$2x*(x -1) * (x + 2) \leq 280\\\\(2x^2-2x)*(x+2)\leq 280\\\\\2x^3+4x^2-2x^2-4x\leq 280\\\\\2x^3+2x^2-4x\leq280$

divide through by 2 we have

$x^3+x^2-2x\leq140$

Megan's family had cakes on two days. The first day, they had 2 3/4 cakes left. The second day, they had 1 1/4 cakes left. How m

vlabodo [156]

Answer: 4 cakes left in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cakes left on first day= $2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$

Cakes left on second day = $1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

The number of cakes left in all= $\frac{11}{4}+\frac{5}{4}$

⇒The number of cakes left in all= $\frac{11+5}{4}=\frac{16}{4}$

Therefore, The number of cakes left in all=4

Find the measure of angle x in the figure below:

Pavlova-9 [17]

Since there should be 180 in a tringle the bottom triangle woul be 65 65 50. assuming that the lines / and \ are the same in both traingles that means that at intersection they create the same angles above=below and left=right meaning the answer to x is x=50

Solve by completing the square<br>3x2 + x - 2 = 0

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation by completing the square:

Solve for x:

3 x^2 + x - 2 = 0

Divide both sides by 3:

x^2 + x/3 - 2/3 = 0

Add 2/3 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 = 2/3

Add 1/36 to both sides:

x^2 + x/3 + 1/36 = 25/36

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 1/6)^2 = 25/36

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 1/6 = 5/6 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

x = 2/3 or x + 1/6 = -5/6

Subtract 1/6 from both sides:

Answer: x = 2/3 or x = -1
