Answer:

The larger number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

Given x + y = 22

   3x+ 5 = 2y - 4      →  3x - 2y = -9

Now solving the above two equations we get,

3x + 3y = 66

3x - 2y = -9

Subtracting, 5y = 75  → y = 15;  x = 7

The larger number is 15. (D)

25 is what percent less than 35
mars1129 [50]
Difference between 25 and 35 = 35 -25
                                                 = 10
Then
percentage by which 25 is less than 35 =(10/35) * 100
                                                                 = (2/7) * 100
                                                                 = 200/7
                                                                 = 28.57 percent
So 25 is 28.57% less than 35.This is the only clear way of solving these kind of problems. I hope you have understood the method used to solve this problem. Hopefully you can do such type of problems without needing any help.

I keep believing the answer is either 18,000 or 1,800 but im incorrect. Can someone please help me?? I use the formula A^2 *2*A*
Yuri [45]

The base is a square, so the area of the square is (10 cm)² = 100 cm²

To find the area of each triangle use the formula

base • height

10 cm • 9 cm = 90 cm²

now multiply by the number of triangles

90 cm • 4 = 360 cm²

Add the area of the square:

100 cm² + 360 cm² = 460 cm²

I hope it's correct
