Answer:

The dimensions of the box are (b+3), (b-2) and (b+2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular box is

V=l\times w\times h    

The volume of a certain box is

V=b^3+3b^2-4b-12

First of all find the factors of above expression by grouping method.

V=b^2(b+3)-4(b+3)

V=(b+3)(b^2-4)

V=(b+3)(b^2-2^2)

V=(b+3)(b-2)(b+2)                 [\because a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)]  

Volume of a rectangle is the product of its dimensions, therefore the dimensions of the box are (b+3), (b-2) and (b+2).

tangare [24]

Answer:

$750

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up the equation 30x + 50y =  z where x = the amount of small dogs, y = the amount of big dogs, and z = the total.

After plugging in the x and y values to solve for z, we are left with the following equation:

30(15) + 50(6) = 750
