75 units squared. separate the shapes into a rectangle and triangle, find the area of each, and add together
just add them up. ans:14 1/4 pounds
1x + 4y = 11 ⇒ 5x + 20y = 55
5x - 7y = -10 ⇒ <u>5x - 7y = -10</u>
<u>27y</u> = <u>65</u>
27 27
y = 2¹¹/₂₇
x + 4(2¹¹/₂₇) = 11
x + 8²²/₂₇ = 11
<u> - 8²²/₂₇ - 8²²/₂₇
</u> x = 2⁵/₂₇
(x, y) = (2⁵/₂₇, 2¹¹/₂₇)
