Answer:

The box is 7.5 in long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the total surface area of the sides of this box (neglecting the ends).

If the base is 3" by 3" and the length of the box is 6", then the total surface area (without ends) is 4 times 3" by x, or  12x in².  80% of this "lateral surface area" is 0.80(12x in²), or 9.60x in° and this 9.60x in² represents the surface area covered b y the label.  That label surface area is 4(3 in by 6 in), or 72 in²

Equating 9.60x in² and 72 in² and solving for x yields  x = (72 in²) / (9.60 in²:

x = 7.5 in

The box is 7.5 in long.

Jim is enclosing a rectangular garden with 170 feet of fencing. The length of the garden is 10 feet more than twice it's width,
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Area = 1500 feet^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim is enclosing a rectangular garden with 170 feet of fencing. This means the perimeter of the rectangular garden =170 feet

Let length = x

Let width = w

The length of the garden,x is 10 feet more than twice it's width, w. This means

x =10+2w---------1

Perimeter = 2x+2w =170---------2

Putting equation 1 in equation 2,

2(10+2w) +2w= 170

20 + 4w +2w = 170

6w = 170-20=150

w = 150/6

= 25feet

Put w=25 in equation 1

x =10 +2×25= 10+50=60 feet

Area = length × width = x×w

= 60×25=1500feet^2

How do I write an inequality for 6x+8>2
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The inequality is x>-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The inequality to solve is given as:

6x+8>2

Now, in order to solve it for 'x', we need to isolate 'x' on one side of the inequality.

<em>Adding -8 on both sides, we get:</em>

6x+8-8>2-8\\\\6x>-6

<em>Dividing both sides by 6, we get:</em>

\frac{6x}{6}>\frac{-6}{6}\\\\x>-1

Therefore, the inequality for 'x' is given as:

x>-1

So, 'x' include all the values that are greater than -1.
