Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The side of the square you cut has length x.

The total length of the cardboard is 25". Once you cut the two corners, the length of the base of the box is 25 - 2x.

The total width of the cardboard is 20". Once you cut the two corners, the width of the base of the box is 20 - 2x.

The height of the box is x.

The volume of the box is

V = LWH

V = (25 - 2x)(20 - 2x)x

V = (2x - 25)(2x - 20)x

The volume is 750 cu in.

(2x - 25)(2x - 20)x = 750

Now try each value in the choices for x, and see which one works.

Try x = 3

(2(3) - 25)(2(3) - 20)(3) = (-19)(-14)(3) = 798

798 is not equal to 750, so x = 3 does not work.

Try x = 4

(2(4) - 25)(2(4) - 20)(4) = (-17)(-12)(4) = 816

816 is not equal to 750, so x = 4 does not work.

Try x = 5

(2(5) - 25)(2(5) - 20)(5) = (-15)(-10)(5) = 750

750 is equal to 750, so x = 5 does not work.

lidiya [134]
To find average, add up the values given and then divide that number by the amount of values that you added to make the larger number.
For example:
If he ran -8 yards first and -6 yards second and they are asking you to find the average, add -8 and -6. You get -14. If you then divide by 2 because you added 2 numbers together, you end up with -7.

Hope this helps!

The stock market dropped 220 points on Monday. It lost another 48 points on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, it gained 96 points. What
Leona [35]

Answer: 48 points gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220 with 48, then add 96. Last step would be subtracting 220 with the amount they have now in those 3 days to find how much points the stock market gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220-48.It‘ll be 172.

Add 172 with 96. 172+96=268.

Subtract 268 with how much points the stock market had 3 days ago. 268-220. So it would be about 48 points gained.
