Let the weight of the full Volume of nails in the box be W.
Let the weight of the box be B.
2/3 W + B = 130 ........i From the first statement.
3/8 W + B = 74 ......ii From the second statement.
Equation (i) Minus (ii)
2/3 W - 3/8 W + B - B = 130 - 74
(16W - 9W) / 24 = 56
7W / 24 = 56.
W = 56 * 24 / 7
W = 192 Pounds.
Substituting V = 64 in equation (i)
2/3 W + B = 130
2/3 * 192 + B = 130
2 * 64 + B = 130
128 + B = 130
B = 130 -128 = 2.
Therefore, weight of box, B = 2 pounds.
Steps to solve:
x^3 - 125 = 0
~Add 125 to both sides
x^3 = 125
~Take cube root of both sides
x = 5
Best of Luck!
Answer:
Length: 20 or 40 feet
Width: 40 or 20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 800 = length*width = x*(60-x)= 60x - x^2
- x^2 + 60x - 800 = 0
x = 20
Or x = 40
So length can be either 20 feet or 40 feet and width can be 40 (60-20) or 20 (60-40)
