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.

John is solving x^2 + 4x + 8=0 by completing the square. Which step would be part of John's solution.?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

(x + 2) ^{2}  =  - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  + 4x + 8 = 0 \\  {x }^{2}  + 4x =  - 8 \\  {x}^{2}  + 4x + 4 =  - 8   + 4 \\ ( x + 2)^{2}  =  - 4

MULTIPLE CHOICE PLEASE HELP
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{3}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (- 6, 0) into the partial equation

0 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 2 = 2

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 2 → C

How do i do time and distance
larisa [96]

Answer:

To solve for speed or rate use the formula for speed, s = d/t which means speed equals distance divided by time. To solve for time use the formula for time, t = d/s which means time equals distance divided by speed.
