Recall the shipping box scenario from the Introduction. As an employee of a sporting goods company, you need to order shipping b

oxes for bike helmets. Each helmet is packaged in a box that is n inches wide, n inches long, and 8 inches tall. The shipping box you order should accommodate the boxed helmets along with some packing material that will take up an extra 2 inches of space along the width and 4 inches of space along the length. The height of the shipping box should be the same as the helmet box. The volume of the shipping box needs to be 1,144 cubic inches. The equation that models the volume of the shipping box is 8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1,144.

Answer:

The dimensions of the helmet box are as follows

Width is 9 inches

Length is 9 inches

Height is 8 inches

The dimensions of the shipping box ordered are as follows;

Width is 11 inches

Length is 13 inches

Height is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

8(n + 2)(n + 4) = 1144

8·n² + 48·n + 64 = 1144

8·n² + 48·n - 1080 = 0

8×(n - 9)×(n + 15) = 0

∴ n = 9 or -15 inches

The dimensions of the helmet box are as follows

Width = 9 in.

Length = 9 in.

Height = 8 in.

The dimensions of the shipping box ordered are as follows;

Width = 9 + 2 = 11 in.

Length = 9 + 4 = 13 in.

Height = 8 in.

Help pls i cant answer and i need to get them right
hoa [83]

The expression has 2 factors, and the second factor has 2 terms.

<h3 /><h3>How many factors has the expression?</h3>

We can write an expression of N factors as:

y = A_1*A_2*...*A_n

Here, the expression is:

4*(8x + 5)

This expression has 2 factors, which are:

4 and (8x + 5)

Now, if we look at the only factor 8x + 5, we have two terms (the terms are the parts that are added), the terms are:

8x and 5.

You have to fill in the blank for this one 4/9 divided by blank equals 12
photoshop1234 [79]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

x: unknown number

We now write the expression that models the problem:

\frac{\frac{4}{9}}{x} = 12

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

\frac{4}{9}=12x

\frac{4}{9(12)}=x

x=\frac{4}{108}

x=\frac{1}{27}

Answer:

4/9 divided by 1/27 equals 12
