Question

Jenny uses small boxes to ship the earrings she sells on her jewelry website. The box is in the shape of a rectangular prism and has a volume of 8 cubic inches. The length of the box is 2 inches. The height of the box is 3 inches more than the width. Complete the equation that models the volume of the box in terms of the width, x. Volume of a prism (V) = (length)(width)(height)

Answer 1

Answer: EDMENTUM + PLATO

2x^2 +6 x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

`2x(x + 3) = 8`

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular box is given by;

`V = l * w * h`

It was given that, the volume of the box is V=8 cubic inches.

The length of the box is l=2 inches.

Let the width of the box be x inches.

The height of the box is 3 inches more than the width. That is

`h = x + 3`

We now substitute all values into the formula to get:

`8 = 2 * x(x + 3)`

Therefore the required equation is

`2x(x + 3) = 8`
