Let the required number is 2x ,
According to the condition,
➡ 10 times the sum of half of 2x and 6 = 8

Therefore the value of x is -5.2
And, required number is -5.2
Answer:
The required specific heat is 196.94 joule per kg per °C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The heat generated = Q = 85.87 J
Mass of substance (m)= 34.8 gram = 0.0348 kg
Change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 34.29°C - 21.76°C = 12.53°C
Let the specific heat = S
Now we know that
Heat = Mass × specific heat × change in temperature
Or, Q = msΔt
Or, 85.87 = (0.0348 kg ) × S × 12.53°C
Or , 85.87 = 0.4360 × S
Or, S = 
∴ S = 196.94 joule per kg per °C
Hence the required specific heat is 196.94 joule per kg per °C Answer
The shaded region is a parallelogram.
The formula for the area of any parallelogram is

.
The base of the parallelogram is 2 meters long (given).
The height of the parallelogram is 9 meters (do not be fooled by the unnecessary information of 14 meters)
The height is 9 meters because the height has to be perpendicular to the base. Thus, the side length must be 9 meters.
Multiply them together.

The area of the parallelogram is 18 square meters.
Because the factor would divide it into two
X and y
x=2y+9
x-y=22
*x is the larger number*
plug in x to solve for y
2y+9-y=22
y+9=22
-9 both sides
y=13
plug in y and solve for X
x=2 (13)+9
x=26+9
x=35
