Jordan is tracking a recent online purchase. the shipping costs state that the item will be shipped in a 24-inch long box with a volume of 2,880 cubic inches. the width of the box is seven inches less than the height.

the volume of a rectangular prism is found using the formula v = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

complete the equation that models the volume of the box in terms of its height, x, in inches.

The expression for volume in terms of height 'x' is .

The height of the box is 15 inches and width is 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the box be 'x'.

Given:

Length of the box is,

Width is 7 less than its height. Therefore, width is,

Volume of the box is,

The volume of the box is given as:

The above equation is a standard quadratic equation of the form

Here,

Using the quadratic formula to find the values of 'x', we get:

is rejected as height can't be negative.

Therefore, the height of the box is 15 in.

Width of the box is,

2/4 is the answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= total pieces

both ate 9 pieces

mindy ate 3 so troy ate 6

6= (1/4)x

x =24
