The surface area of a box is 160 square inches. The length of the box is twice its width, and is 4 inches less than its height. What is the height of the box, in inches?

Answers

Answer 1

the height of the box is 9 inches

Answer:

solution given:

total surface area of a box=160 square inches

let length, width, and height be l,b, and h respectively.

according to the question:

l=2b

∴b =[tex]\frac{l}{2}[/tex]

l=h-4

∴ h=l+4

we have

total surface area of a box=160 square inches

2(lb+lh+bh)=160

[tex]2(l*\frac{l}{2}+l(l+4)+\frac{l}{2}*(l+4))=160[/tex]

[tex]2*\frac{l^2+2l^2+8l+l^2+4l}{2}=160[/tex]

[tex]4l^2+12l=160[/tex]

[tex]4(l^2+3l)=160[/tex]

[tex]l^2+3l=\frac{160}{4}[/tex]

[tex]l^2+3l-40=0[/tex]

doing middle term factorization

[tex]l^2+(8-5}l-40=0[/tex]

[tex]l^2+8l-5l-40=0[/tex]

taking common from each two terms

l(l+8)-5(l+8)=0

(l+8)(l-5)=0

either

l=-8[neglected as length is always positive]

or

l=5

now

b=[tex]\frac{5}{2} =2.5[/tex]

h=5+4=9

Answer:

  x ≠ -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding 4x-72 to the first inequality gives ...

  -12 < 4x

  -3 < x . . . . . divide by 4

Adding -11 to the second inequality gives ...

  14x < -42

  x < -3 . . . . divide by 14

Now we have ...

  x < -3 or x > -3

The solution is x ≠ -3.

At that rate, how many minutes would it take the crew to load crates with a total weight of 2400 pounds? Round the answer to the nearest
tenth. Enter the answer in the box.
minutes
Plz help me no links

Answers

Answer:

4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

2400/160 =15 crates

4/1.25=3.2 crates a minute

15/3.2=4.68 minutes

4.7 because it rounds up

To load 2400 pounds of crates crew will take around 4.69 minutes.

What are the ratio and proportion?

The ratio is the division of the two numbers.

For example, a/b, where a will be the numerator and b will be the denominator.

Proportion is the relation of a variable with another. It could be direct or inverse.

Given,

Crew can load 4 crates every 1.25 minutes

4 creates ⇔ 1.25 minutes

Given,

1 crate = 160 pounds

So,

4 crate = 640 pounds

So,

640 pounds ⇔ 1.25 minutes

1 pound ⇔ 1.25/640 minutes

To load 2400 pounds

2400 pounds ⇔(1.25/640)2400 minutes

2400 pounds ⇔ 4.6875 minutes.

Hence " To load 2400 pounds of crates crew will take around 4.69 minutes".

RS= 6x-8

UV= 4x+2


write and solve an equation to find the value of x (show work)


What is the length of RS


What is the length of UV

Answers

Answer:

The length of RS is 22

The length of UV is 22

Step-by-step explanation:

6x-8. ---------- equation (i)

4x+2 ------------ equation (ii)

Now,

equating equation i and ii, we get

6x-8 = 4x+2

or, 6x-4x = 2+8

or, 2x = 10

or, x = 10/2

.°. x = 5

Then,

length of RS = 6x-8

= 6×5-8

= 30-8

= 22

Again

length of UV = 4x+2

= 4×5+2

= 20+2

= 22

Answers

Hi, here’s what I did
First switch sides
-8+9(b+4) =-34
Then add 8 to both sides
-8+9(b+4) +8 =-34+8
Then simplify
9(b+4) =-26
Divide both sides by 9
9(b+4) over 9 = -26 over 9
Simplify
B+4 =-26 over 9
Subtract 4 from both sides
B+4-4=-26/9 (over 9) -4
Simplify and get -62/9 (over 9)
Hope this helps :)
