This question requires creating a few equations and working through them step-by-step. Now, first let's give each of the shapes a variable: let's say that the blue shape is a, the orange shape is b and the green shape is c.
1. We can technically create six formulas for the magic square, with three for sum of the rows and three for the sum of the columns, however the smartest way to approach this is to observe whether there are any obvious answers that we can get.
We can see in row 2 that there are three of the same shape (a) that add to 57. This makes it very simple to calculate the value of the shape.
Since 3a = 57
a = 57/3 = 19
2. Now we need to find a row or column that includes a and one other shape; we could choose either column 2 or 3, so let's go with column 2. Remembering that the blue shape is a and the orange shape is b:
2a + b = 50
Now, given that a = 19:
2(19) + b = 50
38 + b = 50
b = 12
3. We can now take any of the rows or columns that include the third shape (c) since we already know the values of the other two shapes. Let's take column 1:
a + b + c = 38
19 + 12 + c = 38
31 + c = 38
c = 38 - 31
c = 7
Thus, the value of the blue shape is 19, the value of the orange shape is 12 and the value of the green shape is 7.

Algebraic expressions describe an algebraic operation. They can be as simple as a number, or they can include integer constants of numbers, variables, and symbols.

Answer:
y = (-14/15) x + (11/15)
Explanation:
The slope-intercept form has the following formula:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
The given is:
14x + 15y = 11
To put this in slope-intercept form, we will need to isolate the y as follows:
14x + 15y = 11
15y = -14x + 11
y = (-14/15) x + (11/15)
were:
m is the slope = -14/15
c is the y-intercept = 11/15
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
arithmetic sequence : every new item of the sequence is created by adding a constant term to the previous item - in this case 195.
a1 = 3087 (that's our starting value)
a2 = a1 + 195
a3 = a2 + 195 = a1 + 2×195
an = a1 + (n-1)×195
a)
when he is 45 years old, that is 20 years (and 20 annual increments) plus to our starting value.
so, n = 1+20 = 21
a21 = a1 + 20×195 = 3087 + 20×195 = 6987
so, when he is 45 years old, his monthly salary will be RM6,987
b)
how many years (= how big is n) until he gets 8937 ?
8937 = a1 + (n-1)×195 = 3087 + (n-1)×195 =
= 3087 + n×195 - 195 = 2892 + n×195
6045 = n×195
n = 6045/195 = 31
so, a31 = 8937
and that means, he has to work 30 additional years (31 minus the starting level 1) to earn monthly RM8,937.
that means he will be 25+30 = 55 years old.
