This is the concept of algebra, let the width be x
height=x-4
length=2x+10
the volume of the box is:
volume=length*width*height
=x(x-4)(2x+10)
expanding the above we get:
(x^2-4x)(2x+10)
=x^2(2x+10)-4x(2x+10)
=2x^3+2x^2-40x=264
solving the above we get real solution will be
x=6
thus we conclude that the width is x=6 inches
length=2*6+10=22 inches
height=x-4=6-4=2 inches
thus the dimension will be:
width=6 inches, length=22 inches, height=2 inches
The answer to the question is 114
I got x=185
0.75(185)-18.50=0.65(185)
120.25=120.25
Choosing 4 men from seven can be done in 7C4 = 35 ways
(There are 7 to choose from then 6 and 5 and 4 = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4
but we don’t want them in order so we need to divide by 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
Similarly choosing 4 women from 11 can be done in 11C4 = 330 ways.
Total number of ways to choose 4 men and 4 women = 35 x 330 = 11550
