X=5 y=1 this what i got when i worked it out on my paper. hope that helps.
Simple it says you use 33 drops of yellow originally and 44 drops of blue it appears that each drops are 11 drops lesser (from blue to yellow). Therefore, add 11 to 1212 and you get your answer.
a) This part is already complete I think..
b) This is a cuboid and lateral surface area of cuboid is: 2(lb +bh + hl)
= 2( 10 × 3 + 3 × 7 + 7 × 10)
= 2(30 + 21 + 70)
= 2 × 121 = 242 cm²
Now, the area of top & bottom: lb
= 2 × 10 × 3
= 60 cm²
Neglecting the top & bottom surface area of cuboid:
= 242 - 60
= 180 cm²
c) The total surface area us 242.. I have already done that part above...
