Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure I know what the paper ball situation is, but I can tell you that especially when working with a set formula in physics, math or chemistry (I'd include biology if I knew any biology) that it is a good idea to write down your givens.
The equation you are given is going to fall apart once you know what your givens are and what they do.
I just looked up the Paper Ball Situation. This is a wonderful piece of physics. It immediately opened up all sorts of treasures once they experimenters thought of using tin foil. Givens are a necessity in such an experiment.
Answer:
The surface area of the green prism is 2.5 times greater than the surface area of the blue prism
7a) 302.5
7b) 302500
Hope this helps! :)
X+x+1+x+2=51
3x+3=51
Use inverse operations to solve
subtract 3 from both sides
3x=48
Divide by 3 on both sides
x=16
16, 17, 18
