1)
x + 2y = 21
+ -x + 3y = 29
--------------------------
5y = 50
y = 10
x + 2(10) =21
x = 1
2)
6x + 6y = 30
+ 15x - 6y = 12
-------------------------------
21x = 42
x = 2
6(2) + 6y = 30
6y = 18
y = 3
It’s unsolvable with out more context. What’s the rest of the problem.
Answer:
I believe the numbers are 25 and 68.
Step-by-step explanation:
25 is the smaller number, 25 x 2 = 50, 50 + 18 = 68, and 68 + 25 = 93.
The bottom rectangle is 52 ft by 27 ft.
The top rectangle is 30 ft by 17 ft (calculated as 57 ft - 27 ft - 13 ft = 17 ft).
The connector rectangle is 13 ft by 9 ft (calculated as 30 ft - 21 ft = 9 ft).
total area = 52 ft * 27 ft + 30 ft * 17 ft + 13 ft * 9 ft
total area = 1404 ft^2 + 510 ft^2 + 117 ft^2
total area = 2031 ft^2
weight = 2031 ft^2 * 12 lb/ft^2
weight = 24,372 lb
