The number line would have an open circle that would be on 5 and the line would go right. the number line should count up.
The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is A=6y^2 where y is the side length. we know a=96. so we just isolate y.
96/6= 6y^2 / 6
16=y^2
sqrt (16) = sqrt(y^2)
4=y
So y is 4
