Answer:

65 , 65 , 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of points scored for three games was 63 points.

suppose ,

(x+y+z)/3=63.......(1)

First two games they scored the same number of points  

so, x=y........(2)

which was 6 points more than they scored in the third game

so,  x=6+z........(3)

FROM equation (1)=>

(x+y+z)/3=63

=>(x+x+z)/3=63             [as, x=y]

=>[2x+z] /3 =63

=>[2(6+z)+z] / 3= 63     [as, x=6+z ]

=>(12+2z+z)  = 63 . 3    [multiplied by 3 on both side]

=>12+3z =189

=>3z=189-12

=>3z=177

=>z=59

then,

x=6+z             [FROM equation (3)]

x=6+59            [as, z=59]  

x=65

then,

x=y                    [FROM equation (2)]

y=65                  [as, x=65]

Answer:

3rd game: 59 The other 2 games 65 each

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+6)+(x+6)+x:3=63

Multiply all by 3

3x+12=189

3x= 177

x=59  (3rd=59    The other 2      65 each

59+65+65=189

The surface area of a rectangular prism is 32 square inches. The volume of the prism is 12 cubic inches. The sum of all edge len
Goryan [66]

Answer:

36 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length, width and height of the rectangular prism are a, b, c respectively.

So, surface area, 2(ab + bc + ca) = 32 {Given} ............ (1)

Volume, abc = 12 {Given} ............ (2)

And, the sum of all the edges, 4(a + b + c) = 28 {Given} .......... (3)

Now, if the length width and height are increased by 1 inch, then the volume of the prism will be = (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1)

= abc + (ab + bc + ca) + (a + b + c) + 1

= 12 + 16 + 7 + 1 {From equations (1), (2) and (3)}

= 36 cubic inches. (Answer)
