Answer: -10

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put it in an equation it would be -7x=7(x+20). You would then -7x to both sides to get -14x=140. Just divide -14 on both sides to isolate x. This equates to -10. If you put -10 back into the equation then it says that 70 is 7 times larger than 10. Which it is.

An open rectangular box is 4 feet long and has a surface area of 20 square feet. Find the dimensions of the box for which the vo

sweet-ann [11.9K]

SA=2H(L+W)+LW for open box
20=2H(4+W)+4(W)
distribute
20=8H+2WH+4W
divide both sides by 2
10=4H+WH+2W
solve for 1 variable, pick W
10-4H=WH+2W
10-4H=W(H+2)
(10-4H)/(H+2)=W

V=LWH
subsitute 4 for V, subsitute H for H and (10-4H)/(H+2) for W
V=(4)(H)(10-4H)/(H+2)
V=(40H-16H²)/(H+2)
find max value
take deritivitive of this thing
V'=-16(H²+4H-5)/((H+2)²)
using sign chart
sign changes from positive to negative at H=1

so at H=1
find W

W=(10-4H)/(H+2)
W=2
