Answer: The numbers are: <u>x = 34, y = 12</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the numbers are x and y. The two equations are:

x+y=46

x= 3y-2

Next you use substitution for x in the first equation which brings you to

3y-2 + y = 46 which simplyfies to:

4y - 2 = 46

4y = 48

48 / 4 = 12

y = 12

Then you plug back y=12 in either of the equation to solve for x:

x = 3y - 2

x = 3(12) - 2   = 36 - 2 = 34

x = 34, y = 12

The net of a square pyramid is shown
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a square pyramid is determined from the formula,

Surface area = Area of the square base + 4(Area of one lateral triangular side)

Area of the base = (Side)²

                            = 8²

                            = 64 cm²

Area of one lateral triangle = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})

                                             = \frac{1}{2}(8)(8)

                                             = 32 cm²

Therefore, surface area of the square pyramid = 64 + 4(32)

                                                                              = 64 + 128

                                                                              = 192 cm²

Therefore, Option (D) will be the correct option.
