Question

Am I right?

Answer 1

Mike packed an equal number of flashlights in each of x gift boxes. The number of compartments in each gift box was 3 more than the number of boxes. The number of flashlights in each compartment of a box was 2 more than the number of compartments in each box. The expression below shows the total number of flashlights that Mike packed in all the boxes:

x(x + 3)(x + 5)

Which expression shows the number of flashlights in each box?

x + 3
x + 5
(x + 3)(x + 5)
x(x + 3)(x + 5)

Answer 2

I think its B.

Answer 3

I chose A previously, but it was incorrect.

Answer 4

I know this isn't an answer to your question, but if I help you can you help me? I've been asking for help for ages on one question.

Answer 5

I saw in an old question that someone chose B and got that one wrong so I'm confused >.<

Answer 6

I can try, though I can't guarantee I'll know it. :]

Answer 7

I think the last one but, not sure

Answer 8

Okay, so the number of compartments (c) is c = x + 3. The number of flashlights in each compartment (f) is f = c + 2

Answer 9

This means that the number of flashlights in each compartment is f = (x + 3) + 5

Answer 10

in x boxes you have, x(x+3)(x+5)
in 1 box, you will have total amount / total boxes

x(x+3)(x+5)/x = (x+3)(x+5)

Answer 11

So it is D?

Answer 12

So, let's say there were 3 boxes. This would mean x = 3. The number of compartments in each box would be 5, and the number of flashlights in each compartment would be 8.

Answer 13

Multiply 8 by the number of compartments in each box (5) and we get 40. Plug x = 3 into each equation, and see which one comes out to 40

Answer 14

wait...

Answer 15

No, the number of compartments in each box would be 6, which would mean the solution would be 48

Answer 16

I think the answer is C
