The box has volume
11 in × 3 in × <em>x</em> in = 33<em>x</em> in³
and surface area
2 (11 in × 3 in + 11 in × <em>x</em> in + 3 in × <em>x</em> in) = (66 + 28<em>x</em>) in²
The volume and area have the same value if
33<em>x</em> = 66 + 28<em>x</em>
Solve this equation for <em>x</em> :
33<em>x</em> - 28<em>x</em> = 66
5<em>x</em> = 66
<em>x</em> = 66/5 = 13.2
Yes, this is a polynomial. It is an expression containing variables raised to a real number.
In this case, the variables are being raised to the power of one.
The degree of this polynomial, thus, is one.
Answer:
r=7
Step-by-step explanation:
5r-7=2r+14
add sevento both sides
5r=2r+21
Subtract 2r from both sides.
3r=21
divide both sides by 3
r=7
