Answer:
433.5 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
A cube has 6 sides
Area of 1 side = 8.5 x 8.5 = 72.25 in²
Area of 6 sides = 72.25 x 6 = 433.5 in²
So elimination method is basically adding the equations and canceling out variables.
-6x + 6y = 6
-6x + 3y = -12
The eaiest way to solve is by multiplying the bottom equation by -1.
-6x + 6y = 6
6x - 3y = 12
Now you add the eqautions.
3y = 18
Divde 3 from both sides.
y = 6
Now plug in 6 into any of the original two equations. Lets use the first one.
-6x + 6(6) = 6
-6x + 36 = 6
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-6x = -30
Divide -6 from both sides.
x = 5
So your solution is (5, 6).
