Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
breadth=9 in
Length=11 in
Now a square of side x is cutted for each corner such that the cardboard is made into a open-top box with
length=11-2x
breadth=9-2x
height=x
Here substract 2x because from both sides of length and breadth x units are reduced.
therefore volume of new open-top box is
Volume(v)=
Answer: x = -4, x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the substitution method for this problem.
y = + 2x, but y also = 3x +20.
Because of this, you can determine that +2x = 3x + 20 because they are both equal to the same thing, y.
Solve the quadratic equation you got from substitution:
+ 2x = 3x + 20
-x = 20
-x -20 = 0
You can factor this equation:
(x+4)(x-5) = 0
x = -4, x = 5
