Levart [38]

Answer:

Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.

As per the statement:

Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.

"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x

"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3

⇒y = 2x-3         .....[1]

It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.

⇒x+y =15      .....[2]

Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;

x+2x-3 = 15

Combine like terms;

3x-3 =15

Add 3 to both sides we get;

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3 we get;

x = 6

Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;

y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9

y = 9

Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;

Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9

how much wrapping paper would you need to cover a rectangular that is 18.25 inches by 12inches by 3 inches if you need 10% more
natita [175]

Answer: 681 square inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to apply the formula for the surface area:

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

Where:

w: width

l: length

h: height

Replacing with the values given:

A = (2x12x18.25) + (2x12x3)+(2x18.25x3)

A= 438+72+109.25

A=619.5 in2

Since it has to be 10% more than the surface.

619.5 x (10/100) = 61.95 in2

Adding that value to the surface area

619.5+61.95 = 681.45in2 = 681 in2
