The width would be x.
the length would be x+6
there are two of each (since it’s a rectangle)
so x+x+x+6+x+6=140
simplify
x= 32
l= 38
w= 32

On average, Stan drinks 3/4 of a 8 ounce glass of water in 1/2 of an hour.
sweet [91]
<h3>Stan drinks 12 ounces of water in 1 hour</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Stan drinks 3/4 of a 8 ounce glass of water in 1/2 of an hour

Which means,

\frac{3}{4}\ of\ 8\ ounce = \frac{1}{2}\ hour

\frac{3}{4} \times 8 = 0.5\ hour\\

Therefore,

6 ounces is drank in 0.5 hour

We have to find the water he drinks in an hour

Let "x" be the water he drinks in 1 hour

Thus we get,

6 ounce = 0.5 hour

x ounces = 1 hour

This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying

6 \times 1 = 0.5 \times x\\\\0.5x = 6\\\\x = \frac{6}{0.5}\\\\x = 12

Thus, he drinks 12 ounces of water in 1 hour

Packaging By cutting away identical squares from each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard and folding up the resulting fl
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Height: 3/2 inches

Length:  12 inches

Width: 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the side length of the square

The height of the box by cutting squares off :x

  • The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
  • The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)

The new volume of it is:

V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x

<=> V = 4x^3 -44x^2 +105x

To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume

\dfrac{dV}{dx} = 0

<=> 12x^2-88x+105=0

<=> \left(2x-3\right)\left(6x-35\right) = 0

<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0

<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6

To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2} = 24x -88

  • If  x = 3/2, we have:

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2}= 24(3/2) -88  = -52

  • If x = 35/6, we have:

\dfrac{d^2V}{dx^2} = 24(35/6) -88 = 52

We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.

So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:

Height: 3/2 inches

Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches

Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches

8.5x+51.86=-11.5x+51.76
solniwko [45]
Add, -11.5x and move it over to 8.5x

Then, subtract them together and you get 20x + 51.86 = 51.76

And you move (subtract) 51. 86 over to 51.76, subtract that and you get             20x = -0.1

Divide, and your answer is -200
