Hi there!

In order to solve this problem, we should first write this into expressions.

Let x = the bigger number
Let y = the smaller number

x + y = 37
x = 3y + 5

Now, we can use substitution of the system ofinequalities to solve.

We substitute the value of x into the equation.

3y + 5 + y = 37

Now, we simplify.

4y + 5 = 37
4y = 32
y = 8

So, 8 is the answer.

Hope this helps!

I NEED HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

58 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The room is already broken down into two smaller rectangles.

The smaller of the two measures 4 ft by 2 ft. A=lw, so substitute 4 for l and 2 for w.

A(smaller rectangle) =(4)(2), or (4*2).

A(smaller rectangle) =8

The larger measures 10 ft by 5 ft, so using the same method, multiply l times w.

A(larger rectangle) =(10)(5), or (10*5).

A(larger rectangle) =50

Add the two rectangles' areas together to find the total area of the room.

8 + 50 = 58
