18 and 35. The numbers whose sum 53 are 18 and 35.

The key to solve this problem is using a system of equations.

There are two numbers whose sum is 53. This number can be represented as x and y. So:

x + y = 53

Three times the smaller number is equal to 19 more than the larger. Let's set x as the smaller number and y the larger number. So:

3x = 19 + y

Clear y in both equations and let's use the equalization method to solve for x:

y = 53 - x and y = 3x - 19

Then,

53 - x = 3x - 19

53 + 19 = 3x + x ---------> 3x + x = 53 + 19 -------> 4x = 72

x = 72/4 = 18

To find y, let's substitute x = 18 in the equation x + y = 53

18 + y = 53 --------> y = 53 - 18

y = 35

Help me with area, please.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Num. 2: A = 25, Num. 3 = 63, Num. 4 = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll help with as many as I can, so a few of them I won't be able too answer. You should re-post those later. Good luck, hope this helps.

For number 2:

First, turn the triangle into a rectangle by cutting it in half and attaching it to the other half so it forms a rectangle.

Since you cut the triangle in half, you also have to split 5 in half, so the bottom length is now 2.5.

Now, simply multiply 2.5 by 10, and you have the area for number 2.

The area for number 2 is 25.

For number 3:

This one is much easier. Just think of the shape as a normal square that has been tipped to the side. That means that you would solve for area the same way: 9 x 7, which means that the area for number 3 is 63.

For number 4:

This one is also easy. Simply cut, and paste. Now the right side is 10, and the top side is 8. Multiply, and the area will be 80 m.

Please re-post 1 and 5, as I am not able to solve them. Sorry this answer took so long!
