The surface area of a cube is 27^2. Calculate the length of the sides of the cube

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean 27 units² ?

A cube has six congruent, square faces. Area of one face = (27/6) units²

Length of one edge = √(27/6)

= √(9/2)

= √9/√2

= 3/√2

= 3√2/2 units

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
