Answer:

14 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=41

y=2x-1

x+(2x-1)=41

3x-1=41

3x=42

x=14

y=2(14)-1=27

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make a system of equation</u>

The sum of two numbers is 41

    x        +        y        =        41

The larger number is one less than twice the smaller number.

    x                =                2y               -                1

<u>Step 2:  Substitute x from the second equation into the first</u>

x + y = 41

(2y - 1) + y = 41

3y - 1+ 1 = 41 + 1

3y/3 = 42 / 3

y = 14

<u>Step 3:  Substitute y into the second equation</u>

x = 2y - 1

x = 2(14) - 1

x = 28 - 1

x = 27

Answer:  x = 27, y = 14

Basile [38]

Answer:

235

Step-by-step explanation:

first, separate the floor into 3 different rectangles to calculate the area and then add them together.

area of rec=L*B

rec 1: 9*12.5=112.5

rec 2: (13.5-5.5)*(19.5-9-7)=28

rec 3:7*13.5=94.5

Then:

112.5+28+94.5=235
