Part I
We have the size of the sheet of cardboard and we'll use the variable "x" to represent the length of the cuts. For any given cut, the available distance is reduced by twice the length of the cut. So we can create the following equations for length, width, and height.
width: w = 12 - 2x
length: l = 18 - 2x
height: h = x

Part II
v = l * w * h
v = (18 - 2x)(12 - 2x)x
v = (216 - 36x - 24x + 4x^2)x
v = (216 - 60x + 4x^2)x
v = 216x - 60x^2 + 4x^3
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x

Part III
The length of the cut has to be greater than 0 and less than half the length of the smallest dimension of the cardboard (after all, there has to be something left over after cutting out the corners). So 0 < x < 6

Let's try to figure out an x that gives a volume of 224 in^3. Since this is high school math, it's unlikely that you've been taught how to handle cubic equations, so let's instead look at integer values of x. If we use a value of 1, we get a volume of:
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*1^3 - 60*1^2 + 216*1
v = 4*1 - 60*1 + 216
v = 4 - 60 + 216
v = 160

Too small, so let's try 2.
v = 4x^3 - 60x^2 + 216x
v = 4*2^3 - 60*2^2 + 216*2
v = 4*8 - 60*4 + 216*2
v = 32 - 240 + 432
v = 224

And that's the desired volume.
So let's choose a value of x=2.
Reason?
It meets the inequality of 0 < x < 6 and it also gives the desired volume of 224 cubic inches.

What is the value of x in x2-3x=28

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

x=-28

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3x=-1x so if -1x=28 divide both sides by -1 so x= -28

15. Before oil is added to a certain road surface material, the other ingredients are mixed. The mixture contains

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

sand = 3450 pounds

3/4 inch stones =6750 pounds

1 inch stones =4800 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mixture composition is :

45% three-quarter inch stones

32% inch stones and

sand for balance

The percent here is by mass of material used.

Weight of mixture is 15,000 pounds before oil addition.

Use the percent by weight for the two types of stones and calculate real values in pounds

Formula to apply is:

Mass percent = (mass of a material/ total mass of mixture) * 100

For 3/4 inch stones it will be:

$0.45= \frac{x}{15000} *100\\\\0.45=\frac{x}{150} \\0.45*150=x\\x=6750$

The 3/4 inch stones weigh 6750 pounds

The 1 inch stones will be

$32/100 * 15000 =4800$

The 1 inch stones weigh = 4800 pounds

Total for the two items : 4800+6750 =11550 pounds

The sand used weighs : 15000 - 11550 = 3450 pounds

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches longer then twice its width, where w is the width of the rectangle the area of the rectang

vaieri [72.5K]

A = w(2w + 3)
90 = 2w^2 + 3w
2w^2 +3w - 90 = 0
(w-6)(2w+15) = 0 (TRINOMIAL FACTORING)
w = 6 inch ( it can't be -15/2 because lengths can't be negative)
l = 2w + 3
= 15 inch
