X=y-2
2y=5x-17
Substituting for x into the second equation, we find
2y=5(y-2)-17
2y=5y-10-17
-3y=-27
y=9
So x=7
Thus, the two numbers are 7 and 9.
The two numbers are 10 and 7.
10+7=17 and 10-7=3
I don't know the area of a parallelogram off the top of my head but you can use the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle and add those. The area of the triangle is 1/2*base*height and use the pythagorean theorem to find the base. 3² + b² = 5²; 9 + b² = 25; b² = 16; b = 4. The area of the triangle is 1/2*4*3 or 6 in. Since there are two of them, the total area of the triangles are 12 in. The area of the rectangle is length*width or (12 - 4) * 3 which is 8 * 3 or 24in. Add these areas together to get 36in total

Answer:
3x = 50 - 10y
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x represents the number of 3 lb weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights,
So, total weight of 3 lb weights = 3x
And, the weight of 10 lb weights = 10y
Total weight of all his weights = 3x + 10y
According to the question,
Total weight = 50 lb,
⇒ 3x + 10y = 50
Or 3x = 50 - 10y
Which is the required equation.
Second option is correct.
