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:

Emanuel did a mistake in her first step.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\left(\dfrac{3}{5}\right)\left(\dfrac{4}{9}\right)\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)

Emanuel solve this problem but she did a mistake in her first step. She distributes negative sign with 1 and 2 both which is incorrect. We can write negative sign with either 1 or 2 but not both.

Correct steps are:

Step 1:

\dfrac{(3)(4)(-1)}{(5)(9)(2)}

Step 2:

\dfrac{-12}{90}

Step 3:

-\dfrac{2}{15}

Therefore, she did a mistake in her first step.

are the deer near anyone else getting really brave and not caring about vehicles much anymore? i feel a deer uprising coming soo
Nadya [2.5K]

Yes. Over the past two years, my mom has hit four of them. After the second deer, we put a solid metal bumper on her Jeep so that it doesn't sustain damage when we hit one. It works too! The deer no longer damage the Jeep, they just explode when they're hit!

10/10 recommendation for solid metal bumpers. They're literal life savers (not for deer though.)

Can someone please help me with this
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Perimeter = 18m

Area = 18m²

Step-by-step explanation:

On a rectangle, opposite sides have equal lengths. This means to find the perimeter you would do (3 × 2) + (6 × 2) which is 6 + 12 = 18

The perimeter is 18m

To find the area, you would do length × width. The length is 6 and the width is 3 so 6 × 3 is 18

The area is 18m²

Hope this helps!
