Answer:
thx for points
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume is legnth times widht times height
lenght=2x-1
width=x-2
height=x+1
multiply all together
use mass distributive property
distributive=a(b+c)=ab+ac so extending that
(a+c)(c+c)=(a+b)(c)+(a+b)(d) then keep distributing so
(2x-1)(x-2)(x+1)
do each one seperately
do the first two first and put the other one (x+1) to the side for later
(2x-1)(x-2)=(2x-1)(x)+(2x-1)(-2)=(2x^2-x)+(-4x+2)=2x^2-5x+2
then do the other one
(x+1)(2x^2-5x+2)=(x)(2x^2-5x+2)+(1)(2x^2-5x+2)=(2x^3-5x^2+2x)+(2x^2-5x+2)=2x^3-3x^2-3x+2
the lasst form is 2x^3-3x^2-3x+2
The first two pieces are the same, let each of those equal x, so you have x + x = 2x
The 3rd piece is the sum of the first two + 4, so this would be 2x + 4
Now you have 2x + 2x + 4 = 100 cm
Combine like terms:
4x +4 = 100
Subtract 4 from both sides
4x = 96
Divide both sides by 4
X = 24
First piece is 24 cm
Second piece is 24 cm
Third piece is 52 cm
