Answer:
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the original length of the piece of metal
y ----> the original width of the piece of metal
we know that
When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box
The dimensions of the box are
The volume of the box is equal to
so
simplify
-----> equation A
Remember that
The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
solve for y
Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
using a graphing tool
The solution is y=16
see the attached figure
Find the value of x
therefore
The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation :
73 - 47 = 26 brainliest?
There are no solutuons listed (says which of the following). My answer below should be in the list to choose from.
7 - 4x ≥ 35
subtract 7 from both sides
-4x ≥ 28
divide both sides by -4 AND change the direction of the inequality sign because we're dividing by a negative
x ≤ -7
CHECK:
7 - 4x ≥ 35
7 - 4(-7) ≥ 35
7 + 28 ≥ 35
35 ≥ 35
ANSWER: x ≤ -7
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
None of the choices are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the width of the frame,
The framed art cannot me more than 320 square inches
By using the quadratic formula
Frame must not be more than 2.5 inches wide.
Answer:
x = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this problem by using similar triangles. You can tell that the two triangles are similar by AAA (since two angles are the same, the third must be too).
Now that we've established that the triangles are similar, you need to identify the corresponding sides:
12 corresponds to 28
9 corresponds to x
In order to find x, you'll need to find the scale factor, which you can find by dividing 28 by 12:
28 ÷ 12 = 7/3
Now that you know that 7/3 is the scale factor, you can multiply it by 9 to find x:
9 × 7/3 = x
x = 63/3
x = 21
