Hi there!
The way that an infinite number of solutions is achieved is when the two equations, when solved together, get an answer which is just a number equal to the same number. To do this, first substitute 6x-b in for y in the second equation.
Now, we see that b needs to be equal to -3 when multiplied by -1/2. When both sides are divided by -1/2, b becomes equal to 6. Thus, b must be 6.
Check work:
Thus, as they are equal to each other, the answer is correct. b = 6.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
10 centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to remember what's the formula to get the volume of a rectangular solid and a cube.
The volume of the first equals:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
While the volume of the cube is:
where a is the edge.
We are given the measures of the rectangular solid so we can calculate its volume:
cubic cms.
Now, we know that both the volume of the rectangular solid and the cube are the same so we will use this information to calculate the edge of the cube.
Thus the length of an edge of the cube is 10 centimeters
