In this case, since one equation is in the form of x=, substitution would be best for this problem. Simply plug in 4y + 8 in place of x in the second equation, solve for y, then plug that value into the first equation to find x.
Part 1) The surface that is shared by the two solids is the top of the cube that is the same that the square base of the pyramid
Part 2) The dimensions of this surface are 6 in x 6 in
Part 3) Molly needs to paint 228 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture of the question in the attached figure
Part 1) Which surface is shared by the two solids?
we know that
The surface that is shared by the two solids is the top of the cube that is the same that the square base of the pyramid
Part 2) What are the dimensions of this surface?
The surface is a square with side length 6 inches
so
The dimensions of this surface are 6 in x 6 in
Part 3) what is the area molly needs to paint?
we know that
The area that Molly needs to paint is equal to the surface area of the cube plus the surface area of the pyramid minus two times the area of the surface that is shared by the two solids
so
therefore
Molly needs to paint 228 square inches

The smaller side is 4 units going from point (2,2) to point (6,6) while the biger side is 8 units long going from point (6,6) to point (14,14). So 4 is 1/2 of 8 therefore there is a 1:2 ratio because of 4:8
The smallest natural number is 1. The largest natural number does not exists because there will always be one even larger. But if you are asking the number of all natural numbers or the size of natural number set then 
is your answer.
Given:
The system of equations:
To find:
The number that can be multiplied by the second equation to eliminate the x-variable when the equations are added together.
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
...(ii)
The coefficient of x in (i) and (ii) are 1 and 
respectively.
To eliminate the variable x by adding the equations, we need the coefficients of x as the additive inverse of each other, i.e, a and -a So, a+(-a)=0.
It means, we have to convert into -1. It is possible if we multiply the equation (ii) by -5.
On multiplying equation (ii) by -5, we get
...(iii)
On adding (i) and (iii), we get
Here, x is eliminated.
Therefore, the number -5 can be multiplied by the second equation to eliminate the x-variable.
