Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick

Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M

The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48

Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:

H + M = 48

3M + M = 48

4M = 48

M = 12

Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.

Maverick is 12 years old. I used the equation (3x)+x=48. X represents Mavericks age.
I plugged in a random number for x until the equation equaled 48.

RSB [31]

Answer:

The height of the second prism is 12 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must know that the volume of a rectangular prism is equal to length x width x height. With this information, we can multiply the given dimensions of the first rectangular prism to get a volume of 2700 cubic units. From here, we must understand wha we need from the second rectangular prism. Because it has a square base of 15, that accounts for both its width and length. Therefore, we have that

$Volume= 15^2 x\\2700/225=x\\12=x$
