8. The sum of two numbers is 8 less than twice the first number. Their difference is 4 less than twice

Mathematics

Answer:

14 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by naming the first number x.

We can name the second number y.

We can set up equations to model our situation.

x+y=2x-8

x-y=2y-4

Let's simplify the equations.

x+y=2x-8

Subtract 2x from both sides

-x+y=-8

__________

x-y=2y-4

Subtract 2y from both sides.

x-3y=-4

Add the two equations together to eliminate x.

x-3y=-4

-x+y=-8

________

0x-2y=-12

-2y=-12

Divide both sides by -2.

y=6

The second number is 6.

Plug that back in.

x+6=2x-8

Subtract x from both sides

6=x-8

Add 8 to both sides

x=14

The first number is 14

What is the area of ruth's mural?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The shape consists of a rectangle on the bottom and a trapezoid on the top.

Rectangle

A rectangle has a very simple Area formula. It is Area = L*W. In this case the L = 14 m and is horizontal. The width is at right angles to the length and is marked as 3.

Area = L * w

L = 14

w = 3

Area = 14 * 3 =                            42 m^2

Trapezoid

The trapezoid is a bit more complicated and some things have to be found. First of all b1 is the first base of the trapezoid. It is parallel to and equal to  the Length of the rectangle. b2 is marked 10 meters. The height is just a bit more complicated. The total height of the figure is 8 m. You can't count the 3 m of the rectangle as part of the height because b1 comes only to the top of the rectangle. The height is 8 - 3 = 5

Area = 1/2(b1 + b2)*h/2

b1 = 14

b2 = 10

h = 8 - 3 = 5

Area = 1/2 ( 14 + 10) * 5 / 2

Area = 1/2 (24)*5

Area = 12 * 5

Area =                                      <u>    60 m^2</u>

Total Area                                  102 m^2
