Label the 3 distinct sides of the box. I arbitrarily chose the letters a, b and c.
Use the info about areas as follows:
ab=54 in^2
ac=90 in^2
bc=60 in^2
Here you have 3 equations in 3 unknowns (a, b and c), which is enough info to use to determine a, b and c. Then the volume of the box is a*b*c.
Example: bc = 90, but c = 60/b. You could subst. 60/b for c in the 2nd and 3rd equation, which will eliminate c completely and leave you with 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
Continuing this procedure, I determined that a=9, b=6 and c=10. Thus, the volume of the box is V = 9*6*10 = 540 cubic inches (answer)
X is -24
Divide each side by the 5/6 and that's how you solve for x
Answer: B. positive 6
Step-by-step explanation: Addomg the positive number to a negative number would turn it to a positive eventually. So u covert your factions to decimals to better see the resemblance. And 1 1/2 is the same as 1.5, and 2 1/10 is the same as 2.1 but it’s easier to deal with decimals. So then just add the positive to the negative sense 1 1/2 is closer to zero. I hope this helps I’m not the best at explaining things
Answer: 7.58 years
Step-by-step explanation:
When it comes to finding out how long it will take for an investment to double, one can use the Rule of 72.
The Rule of 72 estimates the amount of time it will take to double an investment when you divide 72 by the interest rate:
= 72 / r
= 72 / 9.5
= 7.58 years
