If this is a cube and each side is 6ft, each face will have an area of 6ft * 6ft, or 36ft. There are 6 faces on a cube, so 36ft * 6 = 216ft² as the surface area (it's also the same as 6³, fancy huh?)

Solution of this equation

lara31 [8.8K]

2.5y + 3x = 27
5x - 2.5y = 5

Align the variables to make solving this easier.

2.5y + 3x = 27
-2.5y + 5x = 5

You can see that the 2.5y and -2.5y cancel each other out. Then add the 3x and 5x, and 27 + 5.

3x = 27
5x = 5

8x = 32

Divide both sides by 8.

x = 4

Now input that x into one of the equations to get y.

2.5y + 3(4) = 27
2.5y + 12 = 27
2.5y = 15
y = 6

The answer to this system of equations is x = 4, y = 6. (4, 6)
