So 3 times (3 times) the sum of (+) a number and 4 (x,4)  is equal to (=) five times the number (5x) decreased by 2 (-2)

the equation would be 3(x+4)=5x-2
so if we solve we get
3x+12=5x-2
12=2x-2
10=2x
5=x

Let's try 9 and 9.
18+36=54, no. 9&9 do not work.
Let's try 11 & 7.
22+28=50, no. 14+44=58, no.
Let's try 12 & 6.

Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

As we know, The formula for the length of a trinagle is

(1/2)(base)(height) !.

Height is 6/5 and area is 2/5, then what is the base, we will just have to substitute these values!.

which is ,

2/5 = (1/2)(base)(6/5)

2/5 = (base)(3/5)

base = (2/5)/(3/5)

base = (2/5)(5/3)

base = 2/3 ft!.

Hope my answer helps!
