<h3>Answer: Yes it is possible</h3>

Explanation:

Any linear equation in the form y = mx+b has a constant rate of change, and that rate of change is the slope m. If b = 0, then it turns into y = mx. Here m is the constant of proportionality. Direct proportion equations always go through the origin. If b is nonzero, then y = mx+b will not be proportional.

So for example, y = 2x is proportional while y = 2x+1 is not proportional.

Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of finding the surface is length * width * height or LxWxH.

Since everything is 6 you just multiply 6*6*6 which gives you 36*6 which gets you 216. You don't need the top 6 just to find the surface she will paint.
