Answer:
Maya needs 33 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call x the number of bags of soil. If each bag contains 1.5 cubic feet, then "x" bags do not contain a volume of:
1.5x.
As a volume of 4.5 cubic feet has been published.
[tex]y = 4.5 + 1.5x[/tex]
We need 54 cubic feet.
Then [tex]y = 54[/tex]
[tex]54 =4.5 + 1.5x[/tex]
Now we must solve the equation for x.
[tex]1.5x = 54 -4.5[/tex]
[tex]1.5x = 49.5[/tex]
[tex]x =\frac{49.5}{1.5}\\\\x=33\ bags[/tex]
