3x=y
X+Y=20
5=x and 15=y are the answer. You can use elimination or substitution or guess and check!
8/20 is greater than 2/10. If you were to make the denominators the same, by mulipling 2x2 and 10x2, you would get 4/20, which is less than 8/20.
If she maintains her average amount of movies bought every week, then she will buy 20 DVDs in 10 weeks. Explanation: she buys 4 every week, so if we want to find out how many are in 10 weeks, we must multiply two until we get to 10 ( five weeks ) then multiply that buy her average of movies. And that is how we get the answer of 20 DVDs! ( her at least I did )
Anyways, hope this helps!
Answer:
284cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we split up the shape into seperate sections that we can easily find the areas of.
i will draw vertical lines in the bottom left and right, leaving me with 2 seperate rectangles and 1 irregular pentagon.
we know that these rectangles are 4x8cm, so we do 4 * 8 which gives us 32.
there are 2 of these, so 32 x 2 = 64cm^2.
now, i chose to seperarte the pentagon into a rectangle and a triangle,
and i found the height and width of the rectangle to be (18 - (4+4)) x (8+7), or 10 x 15.
the area of the rectangle is 150cm^2.
now, for the triangle.
the line through the centre of th shape is 22cm long, but we only want the part in the triangle. luckily, there are mesurements that can help us with this.
8 + 7 = 15.
22 - 15 = 7.
now we know that the height of the triangle is 7 cm.
from earlier, we also know the base, which is 10cm.
7 x 10 = 70cm^2.
now we add all these together:
70 + 150 + 64 = 284cm^2
