Mike age is 3 less then twice the age of his brother nuke.
M = Mike's age now
N = Nuke's age now
M = 2N - 3

Ten years ago, four times nuke's age was one more mike's age.
M-10 = Mike's age 10 years ago
N-10 = Muke's age 10 years ago
4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10

what are their present ages

find M and N

substitute M = 2N - 3 into 4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10:

4(N - 10) = 1 + [2N - 3] - 10
4N - 40 = 2N - 12
2N = 28
N = 14

M = 2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

Mike is 25 and Nuke is 14.

check:
4(14 - 10) = 4(4) = 16 = 26 -10 = 1 + 25 - 10

The surface area of a rectangular prism is 32 square inches. The volume of the prism is 12 cubic inches. The sum of all edge len
Goryan [66]

Answer:

36 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length, width and height of the rectangular prism are a, b, c respectively.

So, surface area, 2(ab + bc + ca) = 32 {Given} ............ (1)

Volume, abc = 12 {Given} ............ (2)

And, the sum of all the edges, 4(a + b + c) = 28 {Given} .......... (3)

Now, if the length width and height are increased by 1 inch, then the volume of the prism will be = (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1)

= abc + (ab + bc + ca) + (a + b + c) + 1

= 12 + 16 + 7 + 1 {From equations (1), (2) and (3)}

= 36 cubic inches. (Answer)
