X=2
Y=4
Multiply top so y values cancel out, so multiple top by -3. Y values cancel out. You combine top and bottom equations, x=2. Plug 2 in first equation for x. Y=4
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given


Required
The cost of units used
First, calculate the number of units used.



Next, multiply the units used by the cost per units,
Since the cost per unit is not given, we assume that it is x.
So, the total cost is:



Original Figure:
Length = 15
Width = 5
Height = 10
Volume = Length*Width*Height
Volume = 15*5*10
Volume = 750
New Figure
Length = 3
Width = 1
Height = 2
Each dimension has been divided by 5 (eg: 15/5 = 3)
Volume = Length*Width*Height
Volume = 3*1*2
Volume = 6
The old volume was 750 and it changes to 6
Notice how 750/6 = 125
Which can be rearranged to 750/125 = 6
Answer: if you divide the old volume by 125, then you get the new volume
Note: the new volume is 125 times smaller than the old volume
Put another way, the old volume is 125 times larger compared to the new volume
The fact that 125 = 5^3 is not a coincidence. If you divide each dimension by some number k, then you divide the volume by k^3
The volleyball team would need to purchase 10 shirts for a total of $105 for the cost to be equal.
