A rectangular box has sides 3,4 , and \(x\) and a volume of 18 . What is the value of \(x\) ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The value of x is \(\frac{3}{2}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write the equation for the volume of the rectangular box

The equation for the volume of the rectangular box is: Volume = length * width * height In our case: 18 = 3 * 4 * x
02

Simplify the equation

First, we can simplify the equation by multiplying 3 and 4: 18 = 12 * x
03

Solve for x

Now, we need to solve for x. To do this, we can divide both sides of the equation by 12: \(x = \frac{18}{12}\)
04

Simplify the fraction to get the value of x

To simplify the fraction, we can reduce it to the lowest terms: \(x = \frac{18}{12}= \frac{3\cdot6}{3\cdot4}\) \(x = \frac{3}{2}\) Therefore, the value of x is \(\frac{3}{2}\).

A dental hygiene company is creating a new 24 -ounce tube of toothpaste by combining its most popular toothpastes, Cavity Crusher and Bad Breath Obliterator. Cavity Crusher contains \(0.25 \%\) of sodium fluoride as its active ingredient, and Bad Breath Obliterator contains \(0.30 \%\) of triclosan as its active ingredient for a total of \(0.069\) ounces of active ingredients in both toothpastes. Solving which of the following systems of equations yields the number of ounces of Cavity Crusher, \(c\), and the number of ounces of Bad Breath Obliterator, \(b\), that are in the new toothpaste? A) $$ \begin{aligned} c+b & =0.069 \\ 0.25 c+0.3 b & =24 \end{aligned} $$ $$ \begin{aligned} c+b & =24 \\ 0.0025 c+0.003 b & =0.069 \end{aligned} $$ B) C) D) $$ \begin{aligned} c+b & =24 \\ 0.025 c+0.03 b & =0.069 \\ c+b & =24 \\ 0.25 c+0.3 b & =0.069 \\ \frac{2 d^2-d-10}{d^2+7 d+10} & =\frac{d^2-4 d+3}{d^2+2 d-15} \end{aligned} $$
