2) Franco is building a small jewelry box in the shape of a rectangular prism for his mom. He wants the height of the box to be 5 cm. He wants the length of the base to be 10 cm longer than the width of the
base.

a. If the width of the base is x, write an expression for the length of the base.
b. Write an algebraic expressionſto represent the volume of the box. Simplify your expression.
C Franco decides that the width of the box should be 8 cm. Use your simplified algebraic expression from
part b. to calculate the volume of the box when the width of the base, x = 8 cm.
d. If x = 8 cm, what are the dimensions of the box? Use the dimensions to find the volume of the box...
e. Compare the volumes from parts c. and d. Should the volumes be the same? Explain

I don't know hahahha hihi

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
