Part I
We have the size of the sheet of cardboard and we'll use the variable "x" to represent the length of the cuts. For any given cut, the available distance is reduced by twice the length of the cut. So we can create the following equations for length, width, and height.
width: w = 12 - 2x
length: l = 18 - 2x
height: h = x
Part II
v = l * w * h
v = (18 - 2x)(12 - 2x)x
v = (216 - 36x - 24x + 4x^2)x
v = (216 - 60x + 4x^2)x
v = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
Part III
The length of the cut has to be greater than 0 and less than half the length of the smallest dimension of the cardboard (after all, there has to be something left over after cutting out the corners). So 0 < x < 6
Let's try to figure out an x that gives a volume of 224 in^3. Since this is high school math, it's unlikely that you've been taught how to handle cubic equations, so let's instead look at integer values of x. If we use a value of 1, we get a volume of:
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*1^3 - 60*1^2 + 216*1
v = 4*1 - 60*1 + 216
v = 4 - 60 + 216
v = 160
Too small, so let's try 2.
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*2^3 - 60*2^2 + 216*2
v = 4*8 - 60*4 + 216*2
v = 32 - 240 + 432
v = 224
And that's the desired volume.
So let's choose a value of x=2.
Reason?
It meets the inequality of 0 < x < 6 and it also gives the desired volume of 224 cubic inches.

To produce a box plot, we need the lowest and highest value from the data set. We also need the lower quartile (

), median (

), and upper quartile (

).
All these data and the box plot is shown in the diagram below
Answer:
y = -5x + 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
m is the slope and b is the y intercept. m= -5 so -5 is the slope and b= 4/3 so 4/3 is the y intercept.

Answer: 220
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Children (x): $2
Teens (y): $3, 
Adults: (z): $5
Quantity: x + y + z = 570 ⇒ x +
+ z = 570 ⇒ 1.75x + z = 570
Cost: 2x + 3y + 5z = 1950 ⇒ 2x + 3
+ 5z = 1950 ⇒ 2x + 2.25x + 5z = 1950 ⇒ 4.25x + 5z = 1950
Qty: 1.75x + z = 570 → 5(1.75x + z = 570) → 8.75x + 5z = 2850
Cost: 4.25x + 5z = 1950 → -1(4.25x + 5z = 1950 → <u> -4.25x - 5z</u> = <u>-1950 </u>
4.50x = 900
x = 200
Teens (y):
y =
=
= 150
Quantity: x + y + z = 570
200 + 150 + z = 570
350 + z = 570
z = 220
