You can do this !
The rectangular prism has
-- length = 10 cm
-- width = 7 cm
-- height = 3 cm.
-- The area of the top and bottom is (length x width) each.
-- The area of the left and right sides is (length x height) each.
-- The area of the front and back is (width x height) each.
There. I just laid out all the schmartz you need to answer this question.
The rest is all simple arithmetic, and you're perfectly capable of turning
the crank and getting the answer. You don't need anybody else to do
that part for you.
Don't forget your units. The area of each flat face is (cm) times (cm),
and that product will be some cm² , for area.
7, 14 would be it but you have to divide the whole equation by 2 to get the y alone

Let the number be (10 x + y)
Then, 10 x + y = 3 * (x + y) (given)
Or, 10 x + y = 3 x + 3 y
Or, 10 x - 3 x = 3 y - y
Or, 7x = 2 y
Or, x = 2 y / 7 ( Eq. 1)
Also, 10 x + y + 45 = 10 y + x ( given)
Or, 10 x - x = 10 y - y - 45
Or, 9 x = 9 y - 45 ( Eq. 2)
Substituting the value of x from (Eq. 1) in (Eq. 2), we have:
9 * 2 y / 7 = 9 y - 45
Or, (9 y ) - (18 y / 7) = 45
Or, 63 y - 18 y = 315
Or, 45 y = 315
Or, y = 7
From (Eq. 1),
x = 2 * 7 / 7 = 2
So, the number is 10 x + y = (10 * 2) + 7 = (20 + 7) = 27
Answer
Check:
Sum of the digits = 2 + 7 = 9
9 * 3 = 27 ✓
Adding 45 to the number 27, we get 72. So, the digits get reversed.
Well we can say 10.90/10 = the cost per pound to ship the item
we can infer this from the above text so
10.90/10 = 1.09.
So 1.09 * 37 = 40.33
$40.33
or 40 dollars and 33 cents to ship the second box with a weight of 37lb (pounds).
