    To find the dimensions of the original square piece of cardboard, we need to understand how the cutting and folding affects its dimensions.

    1. Let ( w ) be the side length of the original square piece of cardboard.
    2. After cutting out 2-inch squares from each corner, the dimensions of the base of the box become ( (w – 4) ) by ( (w – 4) ) because you subtract 2 inches from each side twice (once for each end).
    3. The height of the box will be 2 inches (the size of the squares cut out).

    The volume ( V ) of the box is given by:

    [

    V = text{length} times text{width} times text{height}

    ]

    Substituting the values we have:

    [

    98 = (w – 4)(w – 4)(2)

    ]

    This simplifies to:

    [

    98 = 2(w – 4)^2

    ]

    So, the equation that can be used to find the dimensions of the original cardboard piece is:

    [

    2(w – 4)^2 = 98

    ]

    In the context of linear equations, here’s a breakdown of the situations:

    1. One Solution: This occurs when two lines intersect at a single point. For example, the equations (y = 2x + 1) and (y = -x + 3) are different slopes, hence they will meet at one unique point.

    2. Infinitely Many Solutions: This happens when both equations are identical, meaning every point on one line is also a point on the other. For example, if you have (y = 2x + 4) and (y = 2(x + 2)), they simplify to the same equation.

    3. Infinitely Many Solutions (from the second statement): If (2x + 5) is a multiple of (x + 5), it suggests that the two expressions represent the same line when simplified.

    4. Zero Solutions: If you claim that (y) is equal to two different expressions, say (y = 2x + 1) and (y = 2x + 3), the two lines are parallel and will never intersect, hence no solutions.

    5. Zero Solutions (from the equation): In the case of (2x + 5 = x + 5), rearranging gives (x = 0). Substituting back, we find two contradictory statements, confirming that this specific case

    The correct inequality to represent the scenario is:

    2w² – 4w – 140 ≤ 0

    ### Explanation:
    1. Define Variables: Let the width of the deck be ( w ). Then, the length of the deck can be expressed as ( 2w – 4 ) based on the given information.

    2. Area of the Deck: The area ( A ) of the deck is calculated as length × width, which gives us:

    [

    A = w(2w – 4)

    ]

    3. Setting Up the Inequality: Since the area must be at least 140 square feet, we set up the inequality:

    [

    w(2w – 4) ≥ 140

    ]

    This can be rewritten as:

    [

    2w^2 – 4w – 140 ≥ 0

    ]

    By rearranging, we can also write it as:

    [

    2w^2 – 4w – 140 ≤ 0

    ]

    This inequality can now be solved to find the possible widths for Timothy’s deck. Great job working through the setup! If you need further assistance, feel free to check out the extended services page.

    The approach Caprice uses is valid because when you add or subtract the same quantities from both sides of an equation, you maintain the equality of the equation. This principle is known as the “Equality Property of Addition/Subtraction.” In this case, by combining the equations, Caprice is effectively eliminating one variable (the y-terms), allowing for easier solving of the remaining variable. As a result, the correctness of the solution (x = 3 and y = 1) is preserved throughout the process.

    To find out how many laps Ariana jogged in total, we need to add the two fractions: ( frac{1}{5} ) (for P.E. class) and ( frac{1}{3} ) (for track practice).

    To add these fractions, we first need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15.

    Now, we convert each fraction:

    1. For ( frac{1}{5} ):

    [

    frac{1}{5} = frac{1 times 3}{5 times 3} = frac{3}{15}

    ]

    2. For ( frac{1}{3} ):

    [

    frac{1}{3} = frac{1 times 5}{3 times 5} = frac{5}{15}

    Let’s analyze each of the statements related to the systems of equations:

    1. Zero Solutions:

    – “4x + 2 can never be equal to 4x – 2.”

    – This is true because if we subtract 4x from both sides, we get 2 = -2, which is a false statement. Hence, there are no solutions.

    2. Zero Solutions:

    – “y is equal to two different expressions.”

    – This is true because if y is defined by two different equations that don’t intersect, they cannot be equal, leading to zero solutions.

    3. One Solution:

    – “3x – 4 = 2x + 2 has one solution.”

    – This is true. If we solve for x, we subtract 2x from both sides to get x – 4 = 2, then by adding 4, we find x = 6. There’s only one solution.

    4. Infinitely Many Solutions:

    – “4x + 2 is a multiple of 2x + 1.”

    To determine how much more brown sugar Sebastian used than white sugar, we can compare the two amounts:

    – Brown sugar: ( frac{4}{5} )

    – White sugar: ( frac{1}{2} )

    First, we need to find a common denominator to subtract these fractions. The least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10.

    Next, we convert the fractions:

    – For brown sugar:

    ( frac{4}{5} = frac{4 times 2}{5 times 2} = frac{8}{10} )

    – For white sugar:

    ( frac{1}{2} = frac{1 times 5}{2 times 5} = frac{5}{10} )

    Now we can subtract the two amounts:

    ( frac{8}{10} – frac{5}{10} = frac{3}{10} )

    So, Sebastian used ( frac{3}{10} ) more brown sugar than white sugar.

    Final answer: ( frac{3}{10} )

    To find out how much it rained in the second half of the month, we can subtract the rainfall for the first half from the total rainfall for the month.

    1. Total rainfall for the month: 3 1/8 inches
    2. Rainfall in the first half: 1/2 inch

    First, we need to convert 3 1/8 inches to an improper fraction for easier calculation:

    – 3 1/8 = 3 * 8 + 1 = 25/8 inches

    Now, we subtract the rainfall in the first half from the total rainfall:

    25/8 – 1/2

    To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 2 is 8. Now, convert 1/2 to have a denominator of 8:

    1/2 = 4/8

    Now we can perform the subtraction:

    25/8 – 4/8 = 21/8 inches

    Finally, convert 21/8 back to a mixed number:

    21 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 5, so:

    21/8 = 2 5/8 inches

    Thus, it rained 2 5/8 inches in the second half of the month.

    To find the radius ( r ) of the smaller cylinder when the volume ( V ) inside the larger cylinder but outside the smaller cylinder is given as ( 160pi ) cm³, we start with the equation:

    [

    160pi = 250pi – 10pi r^2

    ]

    First, we’ll simplify this equation. Let’s divide everything by ( pi ):

    [

    160 = 250 – 10r^2

    ]

    Now, rearrange the equation to solve for ( r^2 ):

    [

    10r^2 = 250 – 160

    ]

    [

    10r^2 = 90

    [

    r^2 = 9

    ]

    Now, take the square root of both sides:

    [

    r = 3

    Thus, the correct equation and solution that gives the radius of the smaller cylinder is:

    160π = 250π – 10πr², r = 3

    This means the radius of the smaller cylinder is 3 cm. If you need further assistance or have additional questions, feel free to ask!

    To make a half recipe of 2 2/3 teaspoons of mint, you first need to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

    2 2/3 can be converted as follows:

    – 2 × 3 = 6 (the whole part converted to thirds)

    – 6 + 2 = 8 (adding the numerator)

    So, 2 2/3 is equal to 8/3 teaspoons.

    Now, to find half of this amount:

    (8/3) × (1/2) = 8/6.

    Next, simplify 8/6:

    8/6 = 4/3 (by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2).

    To find out how long it takes for the object to reach a height of 84 feet from an initial height of 180 feet, we can use the equation that describes the height of an object in free fall:

    [ h = h_0 – 16t^2 ]

    where ( h ) is the height at time ( t ), ( h_0 ) is the initial height, and ( -16t^2 ) is the term for the height decreasing due to gravity (in feet).

    We set up the equation:

    [ 84 = 180 – 16t^2 ]

    Now, we solve for ( t ):

    1. Subtract 180 from both sides:

    [ 84 – 180 = -16t^2 ]

    [ -96 = -16t^2 ]

    2. Divide by -16:

    [ t^2 = frac{96}{16} ]

    [ t^2 = 6 ]

    3. Take the square root of both sides:

    [ t = sqrt{6} ]

    Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative solution. Thus, the correct equation and solution is:

    Answer:

    84 = 180 – 16t²

    t = √6

    This means it takes ( sqrt{6} ) seconds for the object to reach a height of 84 feet. For more in-depth assistance,

    To find out how much farther the beetle crawled than the spider, we can subtract the distance the spider crawled from the distance the beetle crawled.

    The beetle crawled 2 yards, and the spider crawled ( frac{1}{5} ) of a yard.

    Now, let’s perform the subtraction:

    1. Convert 2 yards to a fraction with a denominator of 5 (since ( frac{1}{5} ) has 5 as the denominator).

    [

    2 = frac{2 times 5}{1 times 5} = frac{10}{5}

    ]

    Thus, the beetle crawled ( frac{9}{5} ) yards farther than the spider, which can also be expressed as a mixed number:

    Let’s analyze the statements given for the systems of equations:

    1. Infinitely Many Solutions: 6x + 3 is a multiple of 2x + 1.

    – This indicates that there are dependencies between the equations, suggesting that they overlap completely.

    2. Zero Solutions: y is equal to two different expressions.

    – If y must be equal to two different values at the same time, this creates a contradiction, leading to no solutions.

    3. Infinitely Many Solutions: Both equations are equal to y.

    – If both equations describe the same line, they will have infinitely many solutions.

    4. One Solution: 2x + 1 = 6x + 3 has one solution.

    – This means there is a unique point where these two lines intersect.

    5. Zero Solutions: 6x – 3 can never be equal to 6x + 3.

    – This indicates that the two sides of the equation never equal each other, confirming no solutions can exist.

    Based on this analysis, you can match each statement to the appropriate box for the systems of equations:

    – Infinitely Many Solutions: Both equations are equal to y.

    – Zero Solutions: y is equal to two different expressions.

    – One Solution: 2x + 1 = 6x + 3 has one solution.

    Let’s break down the concepts of the types of solutions for systems of equations.

    1. One Solution: This occurs when the graphs of the lines intersect at a single point. For example, the equations (y = 2x + 1) and (y = -x + 4) would intersect at one point.

    2. Infinitely Many Solutions: This happens when the two equations are equivalent, meaning they represent the same line. For instance, if you have (y = 2x + 5) and (2x + 5 = 2y), both are essentially the same.

    3. Zero Solutions: This is the case when the lines are parallel and never meet. For instance, if you have two equations like (y = 2x + 3) and (y = 2x – 1), they are parallel and will not intersect at any point.

    To conclude:

    One Solution: Intersect at one point.

    Infinitely Many Solutions: Represent the same line.

    Zero Solutions: Parallel lines that do not intersect.

    Adding equations A and B is a valid method for solving a system of equations because it preserves the equality of the equations. When you add or subtract the same quantity from both sides of an equation, the relationship remains unchanged, meaning that if the original equations are true, the new equation formed by the addition or subtraction will also be true.

    In this specific example, Caprice combines equations that represent two lines in a plane. By adding them, she eliminates the y-terms, simplifying the system to a single-variable equation. This helps in finding the value of x first, leading to the correct solution for both variables. This method works effectively as long as the operations applied are balanced on both sides of the equations.

    To find out how much more brown sugar Derek used compared to white sugar, we need to subtract the amount of white sugar from the amount of brown sugar.

    Derek used:

    – Brown sugar: 2 3/4 scoops

    – White sugar: 1 scoop

    First, convert the mixed number (2 3/4) to an improper fraction:

    – 2 3/4 = (2 × 4 + 3) / 4 = 11/4

    Now, convert the whole number (1) to a fraction:

    – 1 = 4/4

    Now, subtract the white sugar from the brown sugar:

    – 11/4 – 4/4 = (11 – 4) / 4 = 7/4

    Now, convert 7/4 back to a mixed number:

    – 7/4 = 1 3/4

    So, Derek used 1 3/4 scoops more of brown sugar than white sugar.

    To find out how much longer the first fish is than the second, we need to subtract the length of the second fish from the length of the first fish.

    1. First fish length = 8 1/2 feet
    2. Second fish length = 6 feet

    Now, let’s convert 8 1/2 feet into an improper fraction for easier calculation:

    8 1/2 = 8 + 1/2 = 16/2 + 1/2 = 17/2 feet

    Now, we subtract the length of the second fish:

    17/2 feet – 6 feet

    We can convert 6 feet into a fraction with a denominator of 2:

    6 feet = 12/2 feet

    Now, we perform the subtraction:

    17/2 – 12/2 = (17 – 12)/2 = 5/2 feet

    Finally, we can convert 5/2 into a mixed number:

    5/2 = 2 1/2 feet

    So, the first fish is 2 1/2 feet longer than the second fish.

    To find out how much lemonade Edmond used, we can start with the amount Ivan used and multiply it by the factor given in the problem.

    Ivan used ( frac{1}{2} ) cup of lemonade. According to the question, Edmond used 4 1/3 times as much lemonade as Ivan.

    First, we need to convert 4 1/3 into an improper fraction:

    [

    4 frac{1}{3} = frac{4 times 3 + 1}{3} = frac{12 + 1}{3} = frac{13}{3}

    ]

    Now, we multiply this fraction by the amount Ivan used:

    [

    text{Amount of lemonade Edmond used} = frac{13}{3} times frac{1}{2}

    ]

    To multiply these fractions, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:

    [

    frac{13 times 1}{3 times 2} = frac{13}{6}

    ]

    This fraction can be written as a mixed number as follows:

    [

    frac{13}{6} = 2 frac{1}{6}

    ]

    So, Edmond used ( frac{13}{6} ) cups of lemonade, which is also ( 2 frac{1}{6} ) cups.

    To find out how much butter was put in each dish, we need to divide the total amount of butter by the number of dishes.

    1. Start with the total amount of butter: 7 1/4 pounds.
    2. First, convert 7 1/4 to an improper fraction.

    – Multiply the whole number (7) by the denominator (4): 7 × 4 = 28.
    – Add the numerator (1): 28 + 1 = 29, so 7 1/4 = 29/4.
    3. Now, divide this by the number of dishes (2):

    [

    frac{29/4}{2} = frac{29/4}{2/1} = frac{29}{4} times frac{1}{2} = frac{29}{8}.
