Answer:

14, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y =8 =>x=y+8

x+y=20

y+8 +y=20

2y=20 - 8

2y=12

Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x-y = 8

x+y = 20

Add the two equations

x-y = 8

x+y = 20

-----------------

2x = 28

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 28/2

x = 14

Subtract the two equations

x-y = 8

-x-y = -20

-----------------

-2y = -12

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -12/-2

y = 6

The numbers are 6 and 14

Can someone please explain this
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 180 degrees in a triangle. To solve you add the other angles and set = to 180 then solve for x

180 = 33 + 90 + 7x +8

172 = 33 + 90 + 7x

139 = 90 +7x

49 = 7x

7 = x

A trapezoid has a height of 8 cm and bases with lengths of 14 cm and 8 cm. Tina says the area of the trapezoid is 176 cm2.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do this properly:

                                 

Area of trapezoid =  average length times height.

Here,

Area = (1/2)(8 cm + 14 cm)(8 cm), or

         = (11 cm)(8 cm) = 88 cm^2

It appears that Tina forgot to divide the sum of 14 cm and 8 cm by 2.  Thus, her answer is twice as large as it should be.
