Let's look at the second equation and try multiplying it by 4:

4 * (3x + ky) = 4 * 27

Which gives us:

12x + 4ky = 108

This looks almost exactly like the first equation except that instead of -20y, there is 4ky. We could try making them equal to each other and solving for k:

-20y = 4ky

-20 = 4k

k = -5

Then, the answer is k = -5.

Answer:
Line ..............> A) infinite number of points extending in opposite directions that has only one dimension

2- Line segment:
It is the same as the line. The only difference is that a line segment has a fixed start point and a fixed end point. It is considered to be a portion of a line
Answer:
Line segment .........> D) a part of a line that has two endpoints

3- Ray:

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangular box is 36.23 ft×36.23 ft×4.345 ft.

Minimum cost=2046.16 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangular box with a volume of 684 ft³.

The base and the top of the rectangular box is square in shape

Let the length and width of the rectangular box be x.

[since the base is square in shape, length=width]
