STEP 1:
x= one number
2x-3= other number

x + (2x-3)= -12
combine like terms

3x - 3= -12
add 3 to both sides

3x= -9
divide both sides by 3

x= -3 one number

STEP 2:
substitute x= -3 to find other number
2x-3= 2(-3)-3= -6-3= -9 other number

CHECK:
-3 -9= -12
-12= -12

ANSWER: One #= -3, Other #= -9

Hope this helps! :)

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

x = 28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of link shaded regions = 84 cm²

Required:

The value of x (diameter of the semicircle/length of the rectangle)

Solution:

Diameter of the semicircle = 2r = x

Length of rectangle (L) = 2r = x

Radius of semicircle (r) = ½x

Width of rectangle (W) = radius of semicircle = ½x

Use 3.14 as π

Area of the link shaded regions = area of rectangle - area of semicircle

Thus:

Area of the link shaded regions = (L*W) - (½*πr²)

Plug in the values

84 = (x*½x) - (½*3.14*(½x)²)

84 = x²/2 - (1.57*x²/4)

84 = x²(½ - 1.57/4)

84 = x²(0.5 - 0.3925)

84 = x²(0.1075)

Divide both sides by 0.1075

84/0.1075 = x²

781.4 = x²

√781.4 = x

27.9535329 = x

x = 28 cm
