Answer:

The numbers are 17 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 22

x - y = 12

Add y to both sides of the equation

x = 12 + y

Substitute new value for x into first equation

12 + y + y = 22

Add the y's

12 + 2y = 22

Subtract 12 from both sides

2y = 10

y = 5

22 - 5 = 17

The numbers are 17 and 5

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

$\frac{1}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the Rectangular Carpet=12*5=60m²

Area of the Square rug=2*2=4m²

Expressing the area of the rug as a fraction of the total area of the carpet, we have:

$\frac{\text{Area of Rug}}{\text{Area of Carpet}}=\frac{4}{60}\\=\frac{1}{15}$ .

The fraction of the carpet that is covered by the rug is $\frac{1}{15}$ .
