None. Because when you solve for x, x is eliminated.
Answer:
Length of the final sides: 6 cm and 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the sides of the original box are

Later, a piece of tin is cut out from each corner; the piece cut out has the shape of the square: we can call the length of its generic side x. Therefore, the dimensions of the box will now be:

We also know that the area is

And the area can be written as product of length and width, therefore:

So we find:

Solving for x,

Which has two solutions:
x = 13 cm (this is larger than the initial length of the width, therefore we discard it)
x = 2 cm
So, the length of the new sides are

0<5xb<5 divide all terms by 5
0<xb<1 divide all terms by x
0<b<x
If you meant 5b as in 5*b then:
0<5b<5 divide all terms by 5
0<b<1
b is infinitely many values between 0 and 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is the weights of the rabbit and the ferret together which is
r + f = 7.
The second equation puts the weight of the ferret in terms of the rabbit. If the ferret's weight is 2 pounds more than the rabbit, then
f = r + 2 (the word "is" means equals). Since we know what f is equal to, we will sub it into the first equation and solve for r:
r + (r + 2) = 7 and
2r + 2 = 7 and
2r = 5 so
r = 2.5 pounds.
A rabbit weights 2.5 pounds and the ferret weights 7 - 2.5 which is 4.5 pounds.
