Use the commutative Property of Addition to add the last two terms first.
9 + (-17) + (-9) = -17
Hope this helps!! Good luck. :)
First off, nicely done on the exponents. You'd be surprised on how bad some look ,:D
a)

b)
Answer:
i hope its correct
Step-by-step explanation:
11x + 2y=68 ------------1
5x+y=13 ------------2
y= 13-5x. ------------3
put 3 into 1
11x +2(13-5x) =68
11x +26 -10x =68
x=42
put x =42 into 2
5(42) +y =13
210+y=13
y=13-210
y=197
Answer: 18 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are four equal triangle and a rectangle.
Formula of a rectangle = b * h = 2*3 = 6
Formula of triangle =
but there four of them so we times them by 4, this leaves us with 2 (b * h) = 2(2*3) = 12
Area of pentagon = area of all triangles + rectangle
Area of pentagon = 12 + 6 = 18
Hope this helps.
