Answer:
3x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distributive property.
3(x + 4) = 3 * x + 3 * 4 = 3x + 12
Answer: 3x + 12
If the ratio is 4:3 divide the larger can by 4 which in a) is 25 then multiply by 3 to get surface area of smaller can which would be 75 square inches.
In part b) do the same so 150 divided by 4 is 37.5 multiplied by 3 is 112.5 cubic inches.
It doesn't matter if it is surface area or volume you still use the same ratio of 4:3
First step: Create a common denominator with 1/3
1/3 x 5/5 = 5/15
Second step: Subtract
14/15
-5/15
