Answer:
length=53 in
width= 23 in
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we know that each corner has now a square of 6 in long, so the heigth of the box will be of this size (as you can see in the picture attached). Then, the length and the width of the box would be the same as the piece, but with 12 in less. Therefore the equations to solve the problem are:
We factorize the 6 and we get:
Finally we solve for x, and we get the initial dimensions of the piece of metal:
We can use the distributive property to set up an expression that is equal to this problem.
14 times 8 is 112
14 times -6 is -84x
14 times 12 is 168
(If you don't know the distributive property ask and I can explain it)
We can combine that together to get:
112 +168 -84x
Or, condense it further:
280-84x is equivalent to 14(8-6x+12)
Answer:
= -3(x+3)x(2x-1)

Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
If you put 0 in for x, then you would be dividing by 0. Dividing by 0 is always undefined.
