First find the volume of the box: 8•4•4.5=144 cubic inches.
8 of the 1/8 inch=1 of the 1 cubic inch
He could do 144 and 0
143 and 8
142 or 16
Or just keep following the pattern... Hope that helped
You would move all terms that don’t contain x to the right side and solve. Answer : x= -3
To simplify x^2-3 =5x
You would first subtract 5x from both sides
X^3-5x-3
Next you would plug this into the quadratic equation:
X=5+/- the square root of: -5^2 -4(1)(-3)/2(1)
Then simplify,
5+/- the squareroot of 24 + 12 / 2
5+/- The squareroot of 36 /2
5+/- 6 / 2
Then solve if it’s an addition or subtract
5+6/2
X=11/2 or 5 1/2
5-6/2
X= -1/2
The answer is x=-1/2 or x=11/2
Hope this helps
Find the volumes of each separate rectangular prism, (top) 9 x 4 x 12 = 432 cubic meters, (bottom) 10x2x2 = 40 cubic meters, and then add them together to get the overall volume, 40+432 = 472 cubic meters. the strategy is using length times width times height, LxWxH.
