Just add the x's its simple, answer is 10
Volume of the box= <span>56 cubic inches
let x is the length, then
width =</span><span>2 inches shorter than its length = x - 2
</span>height = <span>3 inches taller than its length = x+3
Volume = length x width x height
56 = x x (x-2) x (x+3)
56 = (x</span>² -2x)(x+3)
56 = x³ +3x² -2x² - 6x
56 = x³ + x² -6x
x³+x²-6x-56 = 0
using the rational root theorem and factoring the polynomial;
(x-4)(x² +5x +14) = 0
from here;
x-4 = 0
x = 4
So, length = 4 inches
width = x - 2 = 4 -2 = 2 inches
length = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 inches
volume = l x w x h = 4 x 2 x 7 = 56
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation: Took the test |
\/
A mountaineer climbed 1000 feet at a rate of x feet/hour
1000 = x ( t 1 ) eq1
5000 = X ( t 2) eq2 ( he climbed additional at different rate )
the rate was 10 feet / hour less than twice the first rate
X = 2x - 10 eq3
take eq1 and eq 2
( total time = t 1 + t 2 = T)
T = 1000/x + 5000/X
but X = 2x-10
T = 1000/x + 5000/( 2x -10)
T = 1000/x + 5000/( 2(x-5))
T = 1000/x + 2500 / (x-5)
