  1. Step-by-step explanation:
    1) let n be number of cans
    if 1 can has 3 tennis balls, then
    n cans will have 3n (n*3) tennis balls.
    thus, 3n= 27 (equation)
    n=27/3
    n=9
    2) let the initial temp. be y
    y – 5° F = 37 ° F
    3) average speed= total distance/ total time
    = 40 m / 20 s
    = 2 m/s
    let me know if there’s something you didn’t understand, thank you!
    -s.
