Let x and y represent the larger and smaller numbers, respectively. The problem conditions give rise to two equations:
  x + y = 7
  5x +4y = 47

You can use the first equation to write an expression for y, then substitute that into the second equation.
  y = 7 - x
  5x +4(7 -x) = 47 . . . . substitute for y
  x + 28 = 47 . . . . . . .. simplify
  x = 19 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 28

Using our expression for y, we have
  y = 7 -19 = -12

The larger number is 19.
The smaller number is -12.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The wide of the city is 10.7km

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we first have to know the formula to calculate the area of ​​a square

a = area = 115 km²

s = side

a = s * s

now we replace with the known values

115 km² = s * s

115 km² = s²

√(115 km²) = s

10.724km = s

Round to the nearest tenth

s = 10.724km = 10.7km

The wide of the city is 10.7km
