4x - 2 = 2x + 8
2x -2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5
4(5)-2 = 2(5)+8
20-2 = 10+8
18 = 18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the box = x³ +11x² + 20x – 32 I think the ' is a typo for ³
the width is x-1 and the height is x+8
Find an expression for the length
Vol = LWH solve L
Vol / (WH) = L so
L = (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) / (x-1) (x+8)
so it would help to factor the numerator
(x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) I'm willing to bet (x-1) and (x+8) are factors
but I will plot the equation to find the three roots
(x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) = (x-1) (x+8) (x+4)
L = (x³ +11x² + 20x – 32) / (x-1) (x+8)
= (x-1) (x+8) (x+4) / (x-1) (x+8) the (x-1) and (x+8) cancel out leaving
L = (x + 4)
Quick note: Since Riona wants to sell like 90 or 100 the answer I got was for 95.
I hope this helps you but the answer would be approximately about 83125.
The answer would be 6x+3y=2
