Let width be x
length = x+10
5cm is cut from the corners.
so length & width reduce by 10 cm.
..
the width will be x-10
length will be x+10-10
height will be 5cm
...
x(x-10)*5=6000 1 liter = 1000 cm^3
5x^2-50x-6000=0
/5
x^2-10x-600=0
x^2-30x+20x-600=0
x(x-30)+20(x-30)=0
(x-30)(x+20)=0
x= 30 the width
length = 40
...
CHECK
30*40*5= 6000 = 6 liters

Simplify (3x – 5) + (5x + 1).
Andrej [43]

Answer:

(-2x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is ( 3x - 5 ) - ( 5x + 1 )

We have to simplify the given expression

First we will open the bracket having negative notation outside.

( 3x - 5 ) - 5x - 1

3x - 5 - 5x - 1

Now we will collect the similar terms together.

3x - 5x - 5 -1

-2x - 6

So the simplified form of the expression is (-2x - 6)
