This question involves systems of equations. You can use matrices on a graphing calculator or solve by elimination. Set this up as x+y=1212 and x-y=518. If you solve on a graphing calculator, click 2nd matrix then edit. Change the matrix to a two by three and input on the first line horizontally 1, 1, 1212 and on the second line 1, -1, 518. Then hit the quit button and go to the home screen. Click 2nd matrix again and hit rref and quit again and click on the name of the matrix. If you solve by elimination multiply the first one by -1 so your ys can cancel and then find x and plug in. So your two numbers are 865 and 347. 

-Trust me, learn how to do these on your calculator, it will minus the tricky solving of systems.

So write down your 2 equations:
 x + y = 1212
 x - y = 518

If you add them together, the y's will cancel out, leaving you to solve for you x
2x = 1730
x = 865

then substitute x back into one of your equations to find y
ex: 865 + y = 1212, y = 347
ex: 865 - y = 518, -y = -347, y = 347

The figure shows the dimensions of a metal sign. The shaded part of the sign is painted blue.
Sonja [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

we have here 2 triangles : the larger, outer shaded one, and the smaller, inner white one.

to get the area of the shaded part, we need to calculate the area of the large triangle and subtract the area of the smaller triangle.

large area :

12 × 15 / 2 = 6 × 15 = 90 ft²

small area :

8 × 10 / 2 = 4 × 10 = 40 ft²

the shaded area is

90 - 40 = 50 ft²

Math question down below
Sholpan [36]
5(x + 30) 

x + 30 represents the number of minutes per day he practices
5 is the number of days he practices
so 5(x+30) = the total number of minutes he practices in 5 days

For example, if he practices the piano for 20 minutes per day and the violin for 30 minutes per day, he practices a total of 50 minutes per day. For 5 days that would be 5 x 50 = 250 minutes in 5 days.

Plug that into the equation
5(x+30) = 5(20+30) = 5(50) = 250
