Answer:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5
You can write this another way:
2a + 3(a-5) = 5 ( I added the second formula in the first one )
Now you gotta factor out:
2a + 3a - 15 = 5
Here im gonna do plus 15
2a + 3a = 20 ==> 5a = 20
Now if you divide by 5, you get: a = 4
Now you can fill in the second formula again
b = a - 5 (ill fill this in now)
b = 4 - 5 = -1
So, this makes:
a = 4 , b = -1
Use Bidmas, solve all the inner brackets (), with first division, then multiplication then addition then subtraction
Answer:
So I'd say 20in^2 or 22in^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
I decided to make it into a full pentagon shape to just estimate.
So a pentagons sides are all equal so I counted the amount in boxes on the sides of the regular shape and most of them would be 3.5 if you changed the shape into a pentagon.
And I got:
--> 21.076
Step 1) Divide the figure into separate shapes
Long rectangle: 27 x 5
Triangle: 3 x 4
Middle rectangle: 15 x 7
Small rectangle: 6 x 3
Step 2) Find the area of each shape
Long rectangle: A = 27 x 5 = 135
Triangle: A = 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6
Middle rectangle: A = 15 x 7 = 105
Small rectangle: 6 x 3 = 18
Step 3) Add all of the areas together
A = 135 + 6 + 105 + 18 = 264 square feet
Hope this helps! :)
