Answer:

X = 51

Y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 numbers: (Larger) Number 1 is x and Number 2 is y

The equation is x + y = 63

x = 3y +15
y = y

New equation is:

3y + 15 + y = 63

Combine like variables:

4y + 15 = 63

Solve:

4y + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15
4y = 48

Divide 4 from each side:

y = 12

To find x fill in the variables from the 'x =' equation:

x = 3y + 15
x = 3( 12) + 15
x = 51

Find the volume of a cube whose surface area is 150 ft2?

Brrunno [24]

Given:

Surface area of cube = 150 ft²

To Find:

Volume of cube

Solution:

As here in Question we are given Surface area of cube is 150 sq. feet. So, firstly we have find the side of edge of cube. Let 'a' be the edge of the cube

We know that,

$\: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: Surface \: area_{(Cube)} = 6a^2 \\ \\$

Substituting the required values,

$\: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 150 = 6a^2 \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: \frac{150}{6} = {a}^{2} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 25 = {a}^{2} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: \sqrt{25} = a \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: { \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{ \pink{5 = a}}}} } \\ \\$

Edge of the cube is 5 feet

Now,

$\: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: Volume = (edge)^3 \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: Volume = (5)^3 \\ \\ \: \: \: \:\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: {\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{Volume =125 \: {ft}^{3}}}}}} \\ \\$
