Geometry Difficulty 1.5 Junior Find the answer Canada

A cube has a surface area of 54 cm $^{2}$ . The volume of the cube, in cm $^{3}$ , is

Pick one

Solution

Substituting $x=4$ into $3x+2y$ we get, $3(4)+2y=12+2y$ .

Since this expression $12+2y$ is equal to 30, then $2y$ must equal $30-12$ or 18.
If $2y=18$ , then $y$ is $18\div2$ or 9.
