Answer:
plus the other number and the other one
Answer: x = 6
Formula: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that an area of a triangle is half of a rectangle.
The bottom side must equal 11, since if the figure was a rectangle, the area would be multiplied by 2, giving us 44.
What minus 5 equals 11?
6.
So x must equal 6.
12 is the square root of 144.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a super question and it is an excellent exercise for you. When I was teaching, once every term, I would ask my physics class to explain acceleration to a 7 year old. The stats favored the older women (mothers) who took the class. Almost none of the guys could do it. Here's why.
- The sentences had to be very short. They were barely 6 or 7 words long. They were complete sentences.
- The examples used had to be very simple. The secret to those mother's answers was they invariably picked something like a stop sign. They all knew that and they always got it right for those reasons.
You are trying to teach a seven or eight year old. Believe it or not, the first thing you have to do is check and see if they know their facts. Can they do 7+8 or 9+ 6 without hesitancy. If they can do those facts do they know the multiplication facts. 4 * 5 etc. They must know those things cold, or you are wasting your time. Don't ask me why. But you can't go on without those 2 fact types solid.
I take it you are trying to do word problems. The best thing you can do is teach them to read.
A man has a dime and a nickel and a penny. How much money does he have? Us a marker to underline the key statement.
a dime,
a nickel
a penny should be underlined. Don't ask for an answer - yet.

Keep doing this problem over and over. You are not trying to get an answer. You are trying to get them to understand how to read a question
A person has just less than 4 quarters just less than 5 dimes and just less than 4 nickels. How many coins does he have. That's an important question because the grade three-er is going to have to know what less means.
That should get you started.
