Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can write a system of equations to describe the situation:

5x = 8y

x - y = 150

Let's solve the first equation for x:

x = 8y/5

Now we can use substitution to solve the system by plugging 8y/5 in for x in the second equation:

(8y/5) - y = 150

Simplify:

3y/5 = 150

3y = 750

y = 250

If y = 250, then x is:

x = 8(250)/5 = 400

The answer is 250 and 400.

Answer:

  (d)  112 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formla ...

  A = bh . . . . . . where b is the base length and h is the height

__

Here, the base is divided into parts, but their total length is 5m+9m = 14m. The height is given as 8m, so the area is ...

  A = (14 m)(8 m) = 112 m²

The area of the parallelogram is 112 square meters.

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You can also figure this as the sum of the areas of the two triangles and that of the center rectangle.

  A = 2(1/2bh) +bh

  A = 2(1/2(5 m)(8 m)) +(9 m)(8 m) = 40 m² +72 m² = 112 m²

Maya needs $58 to go on a field trip. She has saved $18.50. She earns $6.50 per hour cleaning her neighbor's garden, and she ear
insens350 [35]

She has $18.50 so she needs $39.50.

6.50×3= 19.50

18.50+19.50= 38

5.25×4=21

38+21=59

Maya would have enough money to go on the trip.
