Answer:
There are 75 total cubes in the box.
Step-by-step explanation:
If 0.4 is 30, then divide 30 by 4 and then multiply that by 3, because that would be the answer for red or yellow, then just multiply 22.5 x 2 to find both red and yellow. Finally, add 30 and 45 for your answer.
So first off, remember the formula for the area of a rectangle. it's length time width right? or, you could think that A= 2 things multiplied together. how can we simplify x^2 - x -72 to equal two things multiplied together? well, we can factor it! We know that one of the factors is x+8 right? so what's the other factor? it would be x-9. so, we know width is x-9. I'm not sure if you need an actual value for width. if so, I could probably go further.
First you collect the like term then variable one side coefficient one side and constant
You set the corresponding sides equal to each other and solve for x as you would in a normal equation
