Answer :

x = -1.43

Explanation :

As given ,

The first box has a height (x+5) has a square base with side x

So, the Length and Breadth of the box are x and x respectively.

Now,

The volume of first box = Length×Breadth×Height

                                       = (x).(x).(x+5)

                                       = x²(x+5)

⇒The volume of first box = x²(x+5)

Now,

Given that , the second box with height (x+2) has a square base with side (x+5).

So, the Length and Breadth of the box are (x+5) and (x+5) respectively.

Now,

The volume of second box = Length×Breadth×Height

                                             =  (x+5). (x+5).(x+2)

                                              = (x+5)²(x+2)

⇒The volume of second box =  (x+5)²(x+2)

Now,

Given that,  the two boxes have the same volume

⇒x²(x+5) =  (x+5)²(x+2)

⇒x² =  (x+5)(x+2)

⇒x² =  x² + 2x + 5x + 10

⇒x² - x² =  7x + 10

⇒0 =  7x + 10

⇒ 7x = -10

⇒ x = -\frac{10}{7} = -1.43

⇒ x = -1.43

As volume of first box = x²(x+5) = (-1.43)²(-1.43+5) = 7.30 ≈ 7

As volume of second box =  (x+5)²(x+2) = (-1.43+5)²(-1.43+2) = 7.26 ≈ 7

At x = -1.43, Volume of both the boxes are same.

Answer: 2285.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the simple interest formula, we have P = A / (1 + rt), where P is the Principal, r is the annaul rate and t is the time period.

r = R/100 = 5%/100 = 0.05 per year.

Solving the equation:

P = 3200 / ( 1 + (0.05 × 8)) = 2285.7142857143

Is 2.0 a solution to the equation?<br><br> X-2y=0 , 2x-3y=1
Travka [436]
No, because (2,0) is a coordinate. x=2 and y=0. So just plug in the numbers where there's x or y with the appropriate number, (2 or 0). So in the first equation, x-2y=0, when you pug in the numbers, 2-2(0)=0, you know it's wrong because 2-0=0 isn't correct. So no. the point (2,0) is not a solution to the first equation. Now plug in the numbers for the second coordinate. You get 2(2)-3(0)=1. So 4-0=1. This is once again false no no. (2,0) satisfies neither equations.
