A rectangular box with a square base, an open top, and a volume of 2,048 in3 is to be made. What is the minimum surface area for the box? Enter only the minimum surface area, and do not include units in your answer.

sweetheart, there isn't a cube below.

first the equation needs to be simplified. so the equation would now look like:   52-24+11

then you multiply.

and when you multiply, you will get the answer of 39.  

15 / 2 = 7.5

100 / 7.5 = 13.

this equation is in point-slope form.

where,

using this equation you can gather a point and the slope, which gives you enough information to draw a line. transform the equation to standard form to start.

the equation is now in standard form, we have a point, as well as the slope:

point: (0, -6)

slope: -2

plot (0,-6), then simply rise/run with the provided slope of -2, once you feel you have a comfortable amount of points - draw a line.
