A cuboid has a length of 25cm, a width of 5cm and height of (x-2)cm (a) write an expression, in terms of x, for the volume of the cuboid

(b) the volume of the cuboid is 750cm³.

(i) form an equation in terms of x to represent this information

(ii) solve the equation in (i)

(iii) hence or otherwise calculate the height of the cuboid.​

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

From above question;

A cuboid has a length of 25cm, a width of 5cm and height of (x-2)cm.

Length (l) = 25cm

width (b) = 5cm

height (h) = (x-2)cm.

a).

Volume= l*b*h

V = 25*5*(x-2)

V = 125(x-2)

V = 125x - 250 → Answer

b).

(i)

V = 750cm³

V = 125x - 250

750 = 125x - 250(i)

(ii)

The equation (i) is: 750 = 125x - 250

or, 125x = 750+250

or, 125x = 1000

or, X = 1000/125

Therefore, X= 8cm.

(iii)

Height (h) = x-2

= 8-2

= 6

Therefore, height is 6cm.

Hope it helps!

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

y=3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

given the points a(0,4) and b(-4, -8)

eqn of line ab: (y-4)/(x-0)=(-8-4)/(-4-0)

(y-4)/x=-12/-4=3

y=3x+4
