All the numbers in the first equation have a common factor of 2. Removing that gives
.. x +4y = 6
making it easy to solve for x
.. x = 6 -4y

My choice would be to solve for x using the first equation.

_____
On second thought, it might actually be easier to solve either equation for 8y. That term then directly substitutes into the other equation (equivalent to adding the two equations).
.. 8y = 3x -11 . . . . . from the second equation
.. 2x +(3x -11) = 12 . . . substituting into the first equation
.. 5x = 23 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 11 (what you would get by adding the equations in the first place)
.. x = 4.6
.. y = (3*4.6 -11)/8 = 0.35

    23,456
x         86


If we calculate the conventional way,
This gives us 23,456 * (6 + 80)
= (23,456 * 6) + (23,456 * 80)

First, we multiply 23456 by 6, the figures obtained will be 140736 (which is given in the question)

Next, we multiply 23456 by 80, the figures obtained will be 1,876,480
The third option is the correct answer

If one side of a cube is 15m in length,find its volume
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

V = 3375~m^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the volume of a cube is V = a^{3} where "a" would correspond to the length of an edge/side/height/etc.

If we insert our value into the formula, we get the following result:

V = a^{3}

V = 15m^{3}

V = 3375~m^{3}~(cubic~meters)

Hope it helped,
