Here you have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns. An easy way to solve this type is to isolate one of the variables.

12a + 2b = 8
2b = 8 - 12a
b =
b =  \frac{8 - 12a  }{2}
b = 4 - 6a

Now plug 4 - 6a into equation 1 to solve for a.

a + 5(4 - 6a) = 19

a + 20 - 30a = 19

-29a = -1

a = 1/29 (answer)

Now plug a into the equation for b

b= 4 - 6(1/29)

b= 110/29 (answer)

1. To solve this exercise, you must apply the formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid, which is shown below:
<span> 
 A=(b1+b2/2)h
</span><span> 
 A is the area of the trapezoid.
</span><span> b1 is the larger base of the trapezoid (b1=16-4=12 ft).
</span><span> b2 is the smaller base of the trapezoid (b2=10-4=6 ft).
</span><span> h is the height of the trapezoid (h=12-4=8 ft)
</span><span> 
 2. When you substitute these values into the formula A=(b1+b2/2)h, you obtain:
</span><span> 
 A=(b1+b2/2)h
</span><span> A=(12 ft+6 ft/2)(8 ft)
</span><span> A=9 ftx8ft
</span><span> A=72 ft² 
</span><span> 
 3. </span><span>The length of fencing is:</span>  a²=b²+c² a=√b²+c² a=√(8 ft)²+(6 ft)² a=10 ft  Perimeter (Length of fencing)=12 ft+8 ft+6 ft+10 ft=36 ft
