Answer:
i think the answer is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Solve one of the equations for either variable.
2) Substitute the expression from Step 1 into the other equation.
3) Solve the resulting equation.
4) Substitute the solution in Step 3 into one of the original equations to find the other variable.
5) Write the solution as an ordered pair.
The numbers are: "9" and "12" .

Explanation:
___________________________________
Let: "x" be the "first number" ; AND:
Let: "y" be the "second number" .
___________________________________
From the question/problem, we are given:
___________________________________
2x + 5y = 78 ; → "the first equation" ; AND:
5x − y = 33 ; → "the second equation" .
____________________________________
From "the second equation" ; which is:
" 5x − y = 33" ;
→ Add "y" to EACH side of the equation;
5x − y + y = 33 + y ;
to get: 5x = 33 + y ;
Now, subtract: "33" from each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "y" (in term of "x");
5x − 33 = 33 + y − 33 ;
to get: " 5x − 33 = y " ; ↔ " y = 5x − 33 " .
_____________________________________________
Note: We choose "the second equation"; because "the second equation"; that is; "5x − y = 33" ; already has a "y" value with no "coefficient" ; & it is easier to solve for one of our numbers (variables); that is, "x" or "y"; in terms of the other one; & then substitute that value into "the first equation".
____________________________________________________
Now, let us take "the first equation" ; which is:
" 2x + 5y = 78 " ;
_______________________________________
We have our obtained value; " y = 5x − 33 " .
_______________________________________
We shall take our obtained value for "y" ; which is: "(5x− 33") ; and plug this value into the "y" value in the "first equation"; and solve for "x" ;
________________________________________________
Take the "first equation":
________________________________________________
→ " 2x + 5y = 78 " ; and write as:
________________________________________________
→ " 2x + 5(5x − 33) = 78 " ;
________________________________________________
Note the "distributive property of multiplication" :
________________________________________________
a(b + c) = ab + ac ; AND:
a(b − c) = ab − ac .
________________________________________________
So; using the "distributive property of multiplication:
→ +5(5x − 33) = (5*5x) − (5*33) = +25x − 165 .
___________________________________________________
So we can rewrite our equation:
→ " 2x + 5(5x − 33) = 78 " ;
by substituting the: "+ 5(5x − 33) " ; with: "+25x − 165" ; as follows:
_____________________________________________________
→ " 2x + 25x − 165 = 78 " ;
_____________________________________________________
→ Now, combine the "like terms" on the "left-hand side" of the equation:
+2x + 25x = +27x ;
Note: There are no "like terms" on the "right-hand side" of the equation.
_____________________________________________________
→ Rewrite the equation as:
_____________________________________________________
→ " 27x − 165 = 78 " ;
Now, add "165" to EACH SIDE of the equation; as follows:
→ 27x − 165 + 165 = 78 + 165 ;
→ to get: 27x = 243 ;
_____________________________________________________
Now, divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "27" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________________
27x / 27 = 243 / 27 ;
→ to get: x = 9 ; which is "the first number" .
_____________________________________________________
Now; Let's go back to our "first equation" and "second equation" to solve for "y" (our "second number"):
2x + 5y = 78 ; (first equation);
5x − y = 33 ; (second equation);
______________________________
Start with our "second equation"; to solve for "y"; plug in "9" for "x" ;
→ 5(9) − y = 33 ;
45 − y = 33;
Add "y" to each side of the equation:
45 − y + y = 33 + y ; to get:
45 = 33 + y ;
↔ y + 33 = 45 ; Subtract "33" from each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "y" ;
→ y + 33 − 33 = 45 − 33 ;
to get: y = 12 ;
So; x = 9 ; and y = 12 . The numbers are: "9" and "12" .
____________________________________________
To check our work:
_______________________
1) Let us plug these values into the original "second equation" ; to see if the equation holds true (with "x = 9" ; and "y = 12") ;
→ 5x − y = 33 ; → 5(9) − 12 =? 33 ?? ; → 45 − 12 =? 33 ?? ; Yes!
________________________
2) Let us plug these values into the original "second equation" ; to see if the equation holds true (with "x = 9" ; and "y = 12") ;
→ 2x + 5y = 78 ; → 2(9) + 5(12) =? 78?? ; → 18 + 60 =? 78?? ; Yes!
_____________________________________
So, these answers do make sense!

The problem tells you that a circle with radius 21 inches is painted in two colors. The two colors cover equal areas, so each color is half the area of the circle. You need to find half of the area of the circle. To do that, use the formula for the area of a circle, and then divide by 2.
Half the circle has area 1384.74 square inches / 2 = 692.37 square inches.
Answer: Each color covers 692.37 square inches.
