Answer:
24 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the coordinate plane. First start with the bottom side (LN). The line goes from -3 to 9. This means that the line is 12 units long. Now, look at the other sides. MN goes from 3 to 9, therefore, the line is 6 units long. Lastly, look at ML— -3 to 3, therefore, the line is 6 units long. Add them all up, (12+6+6) and it equals 24 units.
What the that needs to be solved
A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit
"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5
The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]
The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42
The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42
Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out
-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1
then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y
1 + y = 5
y = 4
remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14
