Answer:

The first number is 20, the second one is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y

Since it says "9 is the difference between two numbers", the first equation will be x-y=9

It also says that "their sum is 31". That means the second equation will be x+y=31

here are the two equations:

x-y=9

x+y=31

You can solve this any way you like, but I'll show elimination

add the two equations

x-y=9

x+y=31

2x=40

divide by 2

x=20

Substitute 20 as x in one of the equations

20+y=31

subtract 20 from both sides

y=11

That means the two numbers are 20 and 11

Hope this helps!

15% of 40 = 6 so I’m guessing it would be 6

Find the area of the regular trapezoid. The figure is not drawn to scale. The top side is 4, the bottom side is 7, and both side
svp [43]
A regular trapezoid is shown in the picture attached.

We know that:
DC = minor base = 4
AB = major base = 7
AD = BC = lateral sides or legs = 5

Since the two legs have the same length, the trapezoid is isosceles and we can calculate AH by the formula:

AH = (AB - DC) ÷ 2
      = (7 - 5) ÷ 2
      = 2 ÷ 2
      = 1

Now, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem in order to calculate DH:
DH = √(AD² - AH²) 
      = √(5² - 1²)
      = √(25 - 1)
      = √24
      = 2√6

Last, we have all the information needed in order to calculate the area by the formula:

A =  \frac{(AB + CD)DH}{2}

A = (7 + 5) × 2√6 ÷ 2
   = 12√6

The area of the regular trapezoid is 12√6 square units.
