Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
area of top=7×6=42 yd²
area of bottom=3×6=18 yd²
area of two rectangles=2[4×6]=48 yd²
area of two trapezoids=2[1/2(7+3)×3.5]=35 yd²
total surface area=42+18+48+35=143 yd²
X is equal to 8
Y is equal to 19
