A paper manufacturer is evaluating their packing procedures. Currently, they package twelve reams of paper in a box—in three stacks of four reams. However, their company has been getting complaints from the retail stores that the box is too large and heavy for the average consumer to carry by their self. So, they have decided to reduce the weight of each box by ten pounds. You have been asked to explore the different packing options based on the new weight condition and present your recommendation to the CEO of the paper company. Identify three unique ways to package the paper given the new weight condition. Include both the dimensions of the new boxes, as well as a verbal description of how the reams will be packaged. You may include sketches if you wish.

3 stacks of 4 reams= 12 reams

Each ream weighs 5 pounds so reducing 10 pounds means removing 2 reams from the 12.

First option is 5+5= 2 stacks of 5/5 reams.

2 stacks of 5 each would be easy to carry. provided the stacks should be placed parallel to each other  which would increase the length making it comparatively longer. its easier to hold a (2*8, 11, 2*5 = 17, 11, 17) compact box

Second option is 2+3+3+2 = 4 stacks of  2/3/3/2 reams

Third option is  3+4+3= 3 stacks of 3/4/3 reams

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice
