Here, I'll do the first one for you.
When they are talking about a number, use "x".
Since it says twice a number, you say 2x. Or 3x for three times the number
2x+12=3x-31
Then use algebra to find x. Get the numbers on one side and all the x's on the other.
2x+12+31=3x-31+31
2x+43-2x=3x-2x
x=43
Now do the rest on your own!
<span>(a) What is the capacity of the container?
Volume = length * width * height
V = 4ft * 2ft * 3ft
V = 24 ft</span>³
<span>
(b) How much material was used to make the container?
Surface area = sum of 6 faces of the prism
4 ft x 3 ft = 12 ft</span>² → 12 ft² x 2 = 24 ft²
<span>4 ft x 2 ft = 8 ft</span>² → 8 ft² x 2 = 16 ft²
<span>2 ft x 3 ft = 6 ft</span>² → 6 ft² x 2 = 12 ft²
<span>
Surface area = 24 ft</span>² + 16 ft² + 12 ft² = 52 ft²<span>
</span>
