Set the smaller one to x. 2x+6=22, so 2x=16. Thus, x=8 and x+6=14, so 8 and 14 are our numbers.
The response is
<span>x greater than or equal to -9
</span>proof
8x - (5x + 4)>= -31, 3x- 4>= -31, 3x >= -27, <span>x>= -27/3= -9
so </span><span>x greater than or equal to -9</span>
A=length x height. First we want to know the area of the original sheet of paper. 8.5 x 11= 93.5 inches squared. Then we take two squares with side length 2 inches. The area of each of these squares is 2 x 2, or 4 inches. Since there are two, the total area we take away is 8 inches. We subtract 8 inches from 93.5 since we took it away, and the final area of the paper is 85.5 inches^{2}
Hope this helped!
