Answer:
x = 710
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
1420 = 2x
↓
1420 ÷ 2 = 2x ÷ 2
↓
710 = x
2. Switch sides
710 = x
↓
x = 710
I know it is not one of your options but that is the answer to 1420 = 2x
17.5 because 140 divided by 35 is 17.5 and so is 70 divided by 35.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
So the height is going to be x when you fold the sides up. So that's one part of the volume but for the width it was going to be 4 but since two corners were cut out with the length x the new width is going to be (4-2x). The same thing applies for the length which should be 8 inches but since two corners were removed with the length x it's now (8-2x)
v = x(4-2x)(8-2x)
Part B:
The volume can be graphed although there must be a domain restriction since the height, width, or length cannot be negative. So let's look at each part of the equation
so for the x in front it must be greater than 0 to make sense
for the (4-2x), the x must be less than 2 or else the width is negative.
for the (8-2x) the x must be less than 4 or else the length is negative
so the domain is going to be restricted to 0 < x < 2 so all the dimensions are greater than 0
By using a graphing calculator you can see the maximum of the given equation with the domain restrictions is 0.845 which gives a volume of 12.317
Let's rewrite the equation with x and y on the left side of the equal sign.
5x-4y=8 --------(1)
3x-3y=3---------(2)
Divide equation (2) by 3,
x - y= 1
now we have,
5x-4y = 8 --------(1)
x - y = 1 ---------(2)
To eliminate x, multiply equation (2) by 5. This makes both the coefficients of x to be 5. Subtract the second equation from the first equation.
5x - 4y = 8
(2) * 5 5x - 5y = 5
(-) (+) (-)
----------------
0x +y =3
Therefore, y=3
Substitute the value of y, in any one of the two equations. Let's substitute y in the second equation.
x-3=1
x=4
x=4 and y=3
