Answer:

  • George is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

George is g and Mike is m

  • g = 2m - 5
  • g + m = 31

Substitute g in the second equation

  • 2m - 5 + m = 31
  • 3m - 5 = 31
  • 3m = 36
  • m = 12

Finding g

  • g = 2*12 - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Answer:

  (c)  144 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area can be calculated from ...

  SA = 2(LW +H(L+W))

  SA = 2((6 m)(6 m) +(3 m)(6 m +6 m))

  = 2(36 m² +(3 m)(12 m)) = 2(36 m² +36 m²) = 2(72 m²)

  SA = 144 m²

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The units of area are square meters (m²). The units of volume are cubic meters (m³).
