Answer:

No, it’s not possible according to calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of a rectangular prism is;

2(wl + wh + lh)

Where w is the width, l is the length and h is the height;

Making the substitutions with values in the question

Surface area = 2(6x + 3x + 3(6))

Surface Area = 2(9x + 18) = 18x + 36 square inches

Volume of rectangular prism = l * w * h

Making substitutions;

V = x * 6 * 3 = 18x cubic inches

So therefore to get the value of x, we equate the surface area to the volume;

18x = 18x + 36

We can see that 18x will cancel out and will render our equation invalid

Howhowhow?how??? how would you calculate
Liula [17]

Ok sooooooooooo

Lets say your two fractions are

13/26 and 20/40

you can divide the bottom number by the top one and if you get the same answer for both then they are equivalent. For these you get 2 for both, which means they are equivalent.

another example would be if your fractions are

2/5 and 4/10

You can say well 2*2 equals 4 And 5*2 equals ten so these are equivalent fractions.

Ron works at the local bookstore for an hour every day. He earns $5 daily from this job. If he adds this amount to his daily all
eimsori [14]
$5

The equation is true when we plug 5 in for x. So, x=5 and therefore Ron’s daily allowance is $5.

7(5+5) = 70
7(10) = 70
70 = 70 ✔️

7(10+5) = 70
7(15) = 70
105 = 70 ❌

7(15+5) = 70
7(20) = 70
140 = 70 ❌

7(20+5) = 70
7(25) = 70
175 = 70 ❌
