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.

Answer: 5

7. A battery manufacturer makes batteries that have a failure rate of .015. That is, 15 out of each 1,000 batteries are defectiv
azamat
The answer to this probability question is .86 or 86%. The probability that a batch of 10,000 batteries will contain at least 175 defective batteries is  86 percent. I calculated the failure rate of 10,000 batteries (10k*.015) and yielded 150, meaning there will be 150 batteries that will be defective in a set of 10,000. Then i divided 150 by 175 to get the probability.

Enter the value for x that makes the equation 1/2 (4x+12)+5x=30 true.
8090 [49]
First, distribute the (1/2) into (4x+12) by multiplying them.

The equation becomes:

2x + 6 + 5x = 30

On the left side, combine “like terms” through addition.

7x + 6 = 30

Subtract 6 from both sides:

7x = 24

Finally, get x alone by dividing both sides by 7:

x = 24/7, or if you wanted to round the decimal answer, it’s about 3.429.
