The numbers are 3.5 and -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Sum of two numbers = -7. Let one number be x. Then, the other number = -7 - x. Difference = 14

⇒ x - (-7 - x) = 14

⇒ x + 7 + x = 14

⇒ 2x = 7

∴ x = 7/2 = 3.5

-7 - x = -7 - 3.5 = -10.5

Answer:

$21 in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The square in the middle has a length and width of 3, so multiply. 9.

All of the triangles have a base of 3 and a height of 2. The area equation for triangles is

$A=bh\frac{1}{2}$

So base*height is 6. Divide that by 2 or multiply by 1/2.

You get 3. There are 4 triangles, so multiply that by 4. 12.

Add 12 and 9 together, and you get:

$21 in^{2}$

I hope this helps!
