A rectangular piece of metal is 20 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 4 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box. If the volume of the box is 1364 in what
were the original dimensions of the piece of metal?

(-5,-28)

i graphed to on desmos.

answer:

given the linear inequality :

add 2y to both sides we get;

simplify:

add 12 to both sides of an equation;

simplify:

divide both sides by 2 we get;

or

the related equation for the inequality equation [1] is;

y-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the y-axis.

substitute x =0 in [2] to solve for y;

y = 6

x-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the x-axis.

substitute value y = 0 to solve for x;

subtract 6 from both sides we get

multiply both sides by 2 we get;

or

x = -12

now, plot these point (0, 6) and (-12, 0) on graph as shown below and shade the graph below the solid line.

(5x-1)^2= (5x)^2-2(5x)×1+(1)^2=25x^2-10x+1
