2/3x = 3.5 + 3/8x
8 • (2/3x) = 3.5 + 3 • (3/8)

16/24 X = 3.5 + 9/24 X
16/24x - 9/24x = 3.5
7/24 X = 3.5
7x/24 = 3.5
24 • (7x/24) = 3.5 • 24
7x = 84
7x/7 = 84/7
X = 12.

The number is 12.

What is the area of this figure?
KatRina [158]
Hi!

I have attached 2 images that should help you understand :)

First, look at the edits I made to the image you posted. I separated the shape into smaller shapes so that we can find the area of each individual one. 

Let's start with the rectangle.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the width times the height. 
10 · 4 = 40

Rectangle = 40cm

Next up, the red triangles.

I have included another image showing the triangles combined into rectangles. So we can find the area of the triangles just like we would rectangles!

(let me know if you don't understand how I found the width + height of the triangles)

5 · 10 = 50

Red triangles = 50cm

And finally, the green triangles.

8 · 7 = 56

Green triangles = 56cm

Add it all together and you get...

40 + 50 + 56 = 146

The answer to the question is 146cm.

Next time you are having trouble with something like this, picture the triangles as rectangles! :)

This is what I've done so far but does anyone know what I do next or did I make a mistake
grigory [225]
Remmeber, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

for inequalities, if you multiply or divide both sides by a negive, flip the direction of the inequality sign

pemdas always applies
but also the commutative property and assiociative property

so
2(5y+13)-6<20
add 6 both sides
2(5y+13)<26
divide both sides by 2 (easier that distributing)
5y+13<13
minus 13 both sides
5y<0
y<0 is the solution
