X/2x+5=x-2/2x-1
X(2x-1)=(2x+5)(x-2)
2x²-x=2x²-4x+5x-10
-x+4x-5x=-10
-2x=-10
X=5

Then x=5

The solid surface area is equal to the solid volume. Find the value of x? The measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$x=7.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent height of the prism.

We know that volume of rectangular is equal to product of its height, width and length.

$\text{Surface area of rectangular prism}=2(wl+lh+hw)$ , where w, h and l represents width, length and height respectively.

We have been given that the surface area of rectangular prism is equal to the volume of the prism. So we can set an equation as:

$lwh=2(wl+lh+hw)$

We are also told that the measurements of the rectangular prism is 9 inches long and 4 inches wide. Upon substituting these values in above equation, we will get:

$9\cdot 4\cdot x=2(4\cdot 9+9\cdot x+x\cdot 4)$
