<h3><u>Answer</u>:- </h3>

<h3><u>Solution:-</u></h3>
Since painting is done on outer surface of cubical block we will have to find its surface area which is given by-

- <u>where a is side of the cube </u>



Now,



Thus it would cost $ 307.2 to paint the entire cubical block.
6.4 - 2x - 6.63x = 610.5
subtract 6.4 from both sides
-2x -6.63x =604.1
collect like terms
-8.63x = 604.1
divide both sides by -8.63
x= -70
