The length is 12, because if it's 9 inches wide it has two sides of 9 inches which is 18. Then subtract that from the intial value 42 to get 24. After, you divide 24 by 2 due to there being 2 sides of the box and 24 is the sum of both sides. Hopethis helps!

The ODE in terms of these series is



We can solve the recurrence exactly by substitution:


So the ODE has solution

which you may recognize as the power series of the exponential function. Then

Answer:
$31.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up an equation.
$220. 28 - total
$126.53 - cost for parts
3 - # of hours
? - price per hour
3h + $126.53 = $220.28
Subtract $126.53 from both sides.
3h = $93.75
Divide by 3.
h = $31.25
The mechanic charges $31.25 per hour for labor.
Hope that helps.
