Answer:
y=8 and x =10
Step-by-step explanation:

is an expression. And an expression is like an equation except that it has no "sides". Expression is something after being solved gives the answer. An equation on the other hand, shows something being equal to something else.
Answer:
gift 1:
424 cm^2
570 cm^3
gift 2:
1420.5 cm^2
3622.5 cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the surface area of these gifts in order to know the amount of wrapping paper.
The formula for the surface area is:
A = 2*ab + 2*ac + 2*bc
Gift 1:
A = 2*6*10 + 2*6*9.5 + 2*10*9.5
A = 424 cm^2
That means that gift 1 needs 424 cm^2 of wrapping paper
Gift 2:
A = 2*14*17.25 + 2*14*15 + 2*17.25*15
A = 1420.5 cm^2
That means that gift 2 needs 1420.5 cm^2 of wrapping paper
Now, to calculate the cubic centimeters of packaging peanuts, we calculate the volume, the volume has as formula:
V = a*b*c
Gift 1:
V = 6*10*9.5
V = 570 cm^3
This means that gift 1 needs 570 cm^3 of packaging peanuts
Gift 2:
V = 14*17.25*15
V = 3622.5 cm^3
That means that gift 2 needs 3622.5 cm^3 of packaging peanuts
