On babylonian tablet ybc 4652, a problem is given that translates to this equation: x (x/7) (1/11) (x (x/7)) = 60 what is the solution to the equation? x = 48.125 x = 52.5 x = 60.125 x = 77

Option (a) is correct.

x = 48.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

We have to solve for x,

Consider the given expression

First solving for brackets, we get,

Put , we get,

Simplify, we have,

Taking LCM(7,77) = 77

We have,

Simplify, we have,

Multiply both side by 77, we have,

Divide both side by 96, we have,

Thus, x = 48.125

Option (a) is correct.

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
