We can solve this by setting up 2 equations. We can use any letters like. For now, I'll use x and y.
So now we know that    x - y = 0.7   and    x + y = 1.
Now we can eliminate one of the letters by adding or subtracting one equation from the other. I am going to eliminate y by adding the two together (the y and the -y cancel).
This gives us   2x = 1.7,    and so x = 1.7 ÷ 2 = 0.85
Finally, we can substitute x for 0.85 back into one of the original equations to figure out what y equals. I'm going to use   x + y = 1.
So now we have    0.85 + y = 1,    so y = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

The numbers, therefore, are 0.85 and 0.15 (you can check by using the other equation).

Hope this helps!

Triangle XYZ is reflected across the line x = 3. What is the reflection image of X?
aleksandrvk [35]
The image of x is the point (7,5).
Draw the line x= 3 and treat it like a mirror.

When you reflect the points of the triangle just count how many units each point is from the mirror (x=3)
Count the same number of points in the opposite direction (away from the mirror) and you will arrive at the coordinates for the points

How do I find the surface area on this shape
Alisiya [41]
This net is for a rectangular prism, we can find the surface area by adding all of the areas together.

the area of the small square is 2 x 2 = 4, there are 2 so 4 + 4 = 8

the area of one of the long rectangles is base x height. 20 x 2 = 40
there are 4 of these rectangles so 40 x 4 = 160

Adding it all together we get 160 + 8 = 168 ft^2
