Answer:

x = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of integers x and y is 280; x + y = 280

If x is divided by 7, the quotient is y; x/7 = y so x = 7y

Now you have 2 equations:

x + y = 280

x = 7y

Substitute x = 7y into x + y = 280

7y + y = 280

8y = 280

y = 35

x = 7(35)

x = 245

x = 245

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 280

x/7 = y Multiply both sides by 7

x/7 * 7 = 7*y

So x = 7y

Put 7y into the top equation.

7y + y = 280

8y = 280 Divide both sides by 8

8y/8 = 280/8

y = 35

====================

x + y = 280

x + 35 = 280

x + 35 - 35 = 280 - 35

x = 245

36 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Small window

Length: 2cm

Width: 2cm

Area: 4 cm^2

Big window

Length: 4cm

Width: 3cm

Area: 12 cm^2

Total area of the windows:

(Area of 4 small windows + area of 1 big window)

(4 cm^2 x 4 + 12cm^2)

= 28 cm^2

Above window (approx.)

Rectangle

Length: 3cm

Width: 2cm

Area: 6 cm^2

Triangle

Base: 1cm

Height: 1cm

Area: 2 x 0.5 cm^2 = 1 cm^2

Square (between the triangles)

Length: 1cm

Width: 1cm

Area: 1 cm^2

= 8 cm^2

TOTAL AREA OF ALL WINDOWS

= AREA OF 4 WINDOWS + AREA OF BIG WINDOW + AREA OF ABOVE WINDOW

= 16 cm^2 + 12 cm^2 + 8 cm^2

I hope I made the explanations clear enough to make it easier for you to understand!

A Square was altered so that one side is increased by 9 inches in the other side is decreased by 2 inches.The area of the result

LekaFEV [45]

Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.

The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.

This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:

s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.

Solving the equation

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-(4y + 2) - (-3y - 6) = -1

Step 2: Solve for y

Distribute: -4y - 2 + 3y + 6 = -1
Combine like terms: -y + 4 = -1
Subtract 4 on both sides: -y = -5
Divide both sides by -1: y = 5

Step 3: Check

Plug in y to verify it's a solution.

-(4(5) + 2) - (-3(5) - 6) = -1

-(20 + 2) - (-15 - 6) = -1

-22 - (-21) = -1

-22 + 21 = -1

-1 = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide 6 by 2. You get 3, right? So now you know that you multiply by three to get the answer. 3.5 * 3 will equal 10.5
