Answer:
x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of trough be x.
Width of trough be 12 - 2x.
and length of trough = 120 inch
Volume of trough, V = L×W×H = 120 × (12-2x) × x = 120x(12 - 2x)
For maximum volume, we find V' = 0
i.e 1440 -480x = 0
or x = 
or x= 3
Hence x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side
Plus 16 on both side and negative 12plus 16 is 4 so x equals 4
Answer:
In order to move a number that is multiplied or divided by the variable, make sure to inverse both sides! That means, if the number is multiplied, you divide it by both sides. If it's divided, you must multiply it by both side; steps so that you can apply them to harder equations.
Sorry if this didn't help! I hope it did though, good luck. <3
