Write a verbal sentence then solve the equation. The quotient of X and 6 is 8.7

Answer

6/x = 8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = a number that we will find out

6/x = 8.7 (determinethe defined range)

6/8 = 8.7, x = 0 (multiply both sides)

6 = 8.7x (swap sides)

8.7 x = 6 (divide both sides)

x = 20/29

check

x = 20/29, x = 0

OR x = 0.689655

length, width, and height are (b+2), (b-2), (b+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Doing what the problem statement tells you to do, you get ...

(b^3 +3b^2) -(4b +12)

= b^2(b +3) -4(b +3) . . . . . factor each pair of terms

= (b^2 -4)(b +3) . . . . . . . . . write as a product

= (b -2)(b +2)(b +3) . . . . . . use the factoring of the difference of squares

The three factors are (b-2), (b+2), and (b+3). We have no clue as to how to associate those with length, width, and height. We just know these are the dimensions of the box.
