“Jesse bought 10 more pencils than erasers”       means    P = 10 + E

 “A pencil costs $0.15”   means that     $0.15*P was spent on pencils

 “an eraser costs $.22”    means that    $0.22*E was spent on erasers

 “He paid a total of $4.46”    means that   $0.15*P + $0.22*E = $4.46

15*(10+E)   +   22*E    =   446

                       150 + 37E = 446

                          37E = 296

                              E = 8   Jesse bought 8 erasers

Find the area of the missing piece of the polygon and explain your process for finding it:
Otrada [13]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

In short, the sum of the opposite areas are equal.

x + 30 = 24 + 48

x = 42

To prove this, draw a line from each corner to the "center" where the four lines meet.  Along each side of the square are two triangles.  These triangles have the same base and the same height, and therefore have the same area.

If we say the triangles at the bottom have area a, the triangles on the left have area b, the triangles on top have area c, and the triangles on the right have area d, then we can write 4 equations:

a + b = x

b + c = 24

c + d = 30

a + d = 48

Adding the first and third equations:

a + b + c + d = x + 30

Adding the second and fourth equations:

a + b + c + d = 24 + 48

Therefore:

x + 30 = 24 + 48

x = 42
