FAN AND MEDAL!!!
PLZ HELP ME!! 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 compartments in each gift box?
x + 3 x + 5 (x + 3)(x + 5) x(x + 3)(x + 5)

Answer 1

HELLO!!

Answer 2

hey help!

Answer 3

HI!!

Answer 4

The number of compartments in each gift box was 3 more than the number of boxes.

Answer 5

if the number of gift boxes is \(x\) then the number of compartments in each gift box is 3 more than \(x\) aka \(x+3\)

Answer 6

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 7

The answer is x+5

Answer 8

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 9

the number of compartments in each box would be 6, which would mean the solution would be 48

Answer 10

The answer is then x+3 then. right?

Answer 11

(x + 3)(x + 5) <--- would be your final conclusion :)
