<h3><u>The first number, x, is equal to 7.</u></h3><h3><u>The second number, y, is equal to 2.</u></h3>

x + 2y = 11

2x + y = 16

We can subtract 2y from both sides of the first equation to get a value for x.

x = 11 - 2y

Because we have a value for x, we can plug it into the second equation.

2(11 - 2y) + y = 16

Distributive property.

22 - 4y + y = 16

Combine like terms.

22 - 3y = 16

Subtract 22 from both sides.

-3y = -6

Divide both sides by -3.

y = 2

Now that we have a value for y, we can plug it into either equation to solve for x.

x + 2(2) = 11

x + 4 = 11

Subtract 4 from both sides.

x = 7

Answer:

  10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to work this problem, and they give different answers. The reason for that is that <em>the data shown in the diagram is not consistent</em>.

<u>Method 1</u>

Use the area to determine the base length. The area formula is ...

  A = (1/2)bh

  20 in^2 = (1/2)(b)(4 in)

  (20 in^2)/(2 in) = b = 10 in

The missing side dimension is 10 inches.

__

<u>Method 2</u>

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the parts of the base, then add them up.

Left of the "?" we have ...

  left^2 +4^ = 6^

  left^2 = 36 -16 = 20

  left = √20 = 2√5

Right of the "?" we have ...

  right^2 +4^2 = 8^2

  right^2 = 64 -16 = 48

  right = √48 = 4√3

So, the base length is ...

  base = left + right = 2√5 +4√3

  base ≈ 11.400 in

The missing side dimension is 11.4 inches. (The area is 22.8 in^2.)
