Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Malvin's age be x.

  • x / 2
  • x / 2 + 5 = 5x / 10  [ By taking the L.C.M.]
  • ( 5x / 10 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) = 5x / 30   [ Multiply with the reciprocal of 3 ]
  • ( 5x / 30 ) * 2 = 5x / 15

Now let's solve the equation,

5x / 15 = 8

       5x = 8 * 15

       5x = 120

         x = 120 / 5

         x = 24

Therefore, Malvin is 24 years old.

I need help on what the area of the shape is because they didn’t tell us how to find it
Leto [7]

Answer:

The area of the shape (trapezoid) is 55 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to get the area of a trapezoid is ((b_{1} +b_{2} )/2)*h . b1 is one of the bases, b2 is the other and h is the height.

First, you need to find the average of the bases:

          (15+7=22)/2=11

Then, you multiply that by the height.

          11*5=55

Lastly, you add the units.

          55 square feet is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

(22 + (-6/20) × (214 - 10 ( -6/20)) - (284.75)

(22 - 6/20) × (214 + 60/20) - (284.75)

(22 - 0.3) × (214 + 3) - (284.75)

(21.7 × 217) - 284.75

4708.9 - 284.75
