Answer:

A. 4x + h

B. 4x + h = 78

V = x²h

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The length plus girth

X +x+x+x +h

= 4x +h

2. Constraint equation

4x + h = 78 ----(1)

Objective function

Volume = v = x*x*h

V = x²h ----(2)

3. Quantity as function of x

From equation 1 in answer part b

4x+h = 78

We make h subject

h = 78-4x

We put values of h in equation 2 in part b

V = x²h

V = x²(78-4x)

V = 78x²-4x³

To get values of x and h

V = 78x²-4x³

Dv/dx = 0

= 156x - 12x²

156x = 12x²

Divide through by 12x

156x/12x = 12x²/12x

x = 13

h = 78-4x

h = 78 - 4(13)

h = 78 - 52

h = 26 inches

What value of X makes the equation -5x-(-7-4x)=-2(3x-4) true?
rjkz [21]

Answer: x= \frac{1}{5} Makes It True

Explantion: step 1: simplify both sides of the equation. −5x−(−7−4x)=−2(3x−4) −5x+−1(−7−4x)=−2(3x−4)(distribute the negative sign) −5x+(−1)(−7)+−1(−4x)=−2(3x−4) −5x+7+4x=−2(3x−4) −5x+7+4x=(−2)(3x)+(−2)(−4)(distribute) −5x+7+4x=−6x+8 (−5x+4x)+(7)=−6x+8(combine like terms) −x+7=−6x+8 −x+7=−6x+8 step 2: add 6x to both sides. −x+7+6x=−6x+8+6x 5x+7=8 step 3: subtract 7 from both sides. 5x+7−7=8−7 5x=1
