3x3= 9 which is area of 1 square
In the shape there is total of 11 squares
So 9x11= 99
Joshua used commutative property to rewrite the expression.
Substitute the value of y given by the second equation into the first.
.. 3x -5(-7) = 17
.. 3x +35 = 17
.. 3x = -18
.. x = -6
The solution is (x, y) = (-6, -7).
Answer: 29 and 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since one number is 5 more than another
53-5 = 48
Then we divide that by two to get the value of one of the two numbers
48/2= 24
In order to get the number which is 5 more than the other, we add 5
24+5= 29
So the two numbers would be 29 and 24.
Check:
29+24= 53
