Not entirely sure, but it seem the answer could be B.) It will not be spread out vertically across the entire coordinate plane because in step 5, Nancy selected an incorrect scale on the y-axis.
5x + 4y = 32 ⇒ 45x + 36y = 288
9x - 1y = 33 ⇒ <u>45x - 5y = 165</u>
<u>41y</u> = <u>123</u>
41 41
y = 3
5x + 4(3) = 32
5x + 12 = 32
<u> - 12 - 12</u>
<u>5x</u> = <u>20</u>
5 5
x = 4
(x, y) = (4, 3)
The surface area of the box is being referred to as A
The surface area will be the sum of the four rectangular sides' areas and the base area.
Base area = x²
Rectangular side area = xh
A = x² + 4xh
Volume is, as you said,
V = x²h
Lets substitute h from the formula of A to obtain A in our final answer. Substituting x is possible, but more difficult
(A - x²)/4x = h
V = (x²) * (A - x²)/4x
V = (Ax - x³)/4
F(x) = 6 + x
6 is a one time admission fee. Each ride would cost $1, so you would just add 1 into the admission fee to see what you paid total.
