13 units from 20 could either be 33 or 7; 15 units from -8 could either be 7 or 23.Since 7 satisfy both of the above requirements, Sarah's favorite number is 7. (You could show your work using a number line)
The two possibilities of Neil's favorite number are 26 and -12.
The lengths of the rectangles are 7 and 12 respectively. Form the ratio 7/12. The widths of the rects. are x and 5 respectively. Form the ratio x/5. Now equate these two ratios:
7 x
--- = ---
12 5
Solve this for x. One way to do this would be to cross-multiply, obtaining 12x = 35, and solving this result for x. x will be a fraction. Write the numerator and denominator in the boxes given.

Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you put 11 into y, it is 11=x+5. In order to find this, you have to subtract 11 by 5 which is 6. So x=6
