X= larger number
x-6= smaller number

x + (x - 6)= 62
combine like terms

2x - 6= 62
add 6 to both sides

2x= 68
divide both sides by 2

x= 34 larger number

SMALLER NUMBER
x - 6= 34 - 6= 28

ANSWER: The smaller number is 28 and the larger number is 34.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

120; 643 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter: Add all the sides, so 120 units

_________________________________

Area: First multiply 19 by 24 for the first shape within this other shape, so That equals 456 units squared. Since we know that one whole side is 36 we can subtract 19 from it to get the lower side of the smaller shape and then multiply that by 11. So the smaller side ends up being 17. So 17 times 11 equals: 187 units squared. Then just add the areas together 187+456=643 units squared.
