Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
just took it got it right
the box is considered a prism
any prism the formula for volume is V=area of the base times height so
the first two boxes have the base of 16 plus the height of 3
so 16*3=48
48*2=96
the other box has the height of 5 so
16*5=80
in total they want the volume of all boxes so
96+80=176
answers B:)
if you need to elaborate lmk
5pounds would equal 80 ounces
The equation 
is
Some observations:
is defined only as long as 
, or 
- wherever is defined, its value must be non-negative, so that
is never positive - by the definition of absolute value, we have
if 
, and 
if 
. Then
If , the equation becomes
Taking the square of both sides gives
but since the discriminant is 
, there are no real solutions.
If , then
Taking squares gives
and solving by the quadratic formula gives two potential solutions,
which have approximate values of 8.49 and 26.51.
We know for any value of 
that 
. We have 
and 
, so only the first solution 8.49 is valid.
-3/16 is the answer or -0.1875 in decimal form
