For this problem your equation will be x+(x+1)+(x+2)=537

Multiply and Simplify:

x+x+1+x+2=537

3x+3=537

Subtract 3 from both sides:

3x+3-3=537-3

3x=534

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3=537/3

x=179

179 is the middle number so: 178+179+180=537

180 is the third number.

Is 5/7 greater than 4/6 and Y and please don't be complicated
nadya68 [22]
5/7              4/6              Do a cross multiplication  6*5    and 7*4

6*5              7*4

30                 28


30 is bigger than 28.  Therefore 5/7 is greater than 4/6

Yes 5/7 is greater than 4/6.

I hope it is not that complicated.

If 1200 cm2 of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top, find the largest possible volume of the b
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The largest possible volume V is ;

V = l^2 × h

V = 20^2 × 10 = 4000cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of a box = length × breadth × height= l×b×h

In this case the box have a square base. i.e l=b

Volume V = l^2 × h

The surface area of a square box

S = 2(lb+lh+bh)

S = 2(l^2 + lh + lh) since l=b

S = 2(l^2 + 2lh)

Given that the box is open top.

S = l^2 + 4lh

And Surface Area of the box is 1200cm^2

1200 = l^2 + 4lh ....1

Making h the subject of formula

h = (1200 - l^2)/4l .....2

Volume is given as

V = l^2 × h

V = l^2 ×(1200 - l^2)/4l

V = (1200l - l^3)/4

the maximum point is at dV/dl = 0

dV/dl = (1200 - 3l^2)/4

dV/dl = (1200 - 3l^2)/4 = 0

3l^2= 1200

l^2 = 1200/3 = 400

l = √400

I = 20cm

Since,

h = (1200 - l^2)/4l

h = (1200 - 20^2)/4×20

h = (800)/80

h = 10cm

The largest possible volume V is ;

V = l^2 × h

V = 20^2 × 10 = 4000cm^3
