Volume = (l * w * h) or (11 * 3 * x) which will equal surface area. Volume is 33x for now
Surface Area = 2 (x * 11) + 2 (x * 3) + 2 (11 * 3)
Set Volume equal to surface area. I simplified SA already.
33x = 22x + 6x + 66
33x - 28x = 66
5x = 66
x = 66/5 or 13.2
It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
Answer:
terrells' age is 18 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
d represents dantes' age
t represents terrells' age
d= 3t
d+ t = 72
substitute d to the second equation
d+ t = 72
3t+t=72
4t = 72
t = 18
