Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. 1/5x - 1/3y = -1

2. -3/4x +1/3y = 12

Multiplying equation 1 by 15 and equation 2 by 12

3. 3x - 5y = -15

4. -9x + 4y = 144

and then Solving both equations simultaneously, since x = -20 as stated in the question and by confirmation,

Using equation 3 or 4 to solve for y,

3(-20) - 5y = -15

-5y = 60 - 15

y = 45/-5

= -9

y = -9

Anyone know how to do this?

Answer:

60.22in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the rectangle. 14.1x7=98.7.

Then, we need to find the area of the circle and subtract it from the area of the rectangle.

The area of the circle is pi*r^2. so, pi*3.5^2 is about 38.48. (The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius would be 3.5).

Since there are two halves of the circle, we can just subtract 38.48 from 98.7 so get the area of the shaded region. So, the area of the yellow area is 60.22in^2.
