Let's make two simultaneous equations and solve. Let's call the smaller number s, and the larger number l
l=3s-1\\l+s=63\\\text{now solve this, and find l and s}\\\text{modifying the second equation}\\l=63-s\\\text{plugging this into the first equation}\\63-s=3s-1\\\text{solve for s}\\64=4s\\s=16\\\text{plug this into the second equation from the original two}\\l+16=63\\\text{solve for l}\\l=47\\\text{gather the answers. The answers are: the larger number is 47, and the smaller number is 16.}

For this, we need to find the area of the larger rectangle (The room) and subtract from that the area of the smaller, shaded rectangle (The rug).
A=LW (L=Length, W=Width, A=Area)

The larger rectangle first:
A=(15)(10)
A=150 feet squared

Now the Rug:
A=(12)(7)
A=84 feet squared

Now to find the area that is NOT covered by the rug, we subtract:
150-84
= 66 feet squared will NOT be covered by the rug.

Hope this Helps!

Answer: 15 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Denise wants to cover a 21.75 square foot wall with weathered wood and that each box of weathered wood contains 1.5 square feet of wood.

The number of boxes of weathered wood that she need will be calculated by dividing 21.75 square feet by 1.5 square feet. This will be:

= 21.75/1.5

= 14.5

= 15 boxes approximately
