It would be written out as "number eight".
Lets say that the first number is x and the second number is y.
from the question we know that:
y=-3x and x+y=-4
from there, you need to replace the y in the second equation with -3x since we know that is what y equals so we can have an equation with only one variable.
x+-3x+-4
Then you solve for x.
-2x=-4
x=2
then you find y with the fact that y=-3x
y=-6
-2/3 is the answer bc you divide both by two and it simplifies
The area of a trapezoid can be found by the formula:
A = [(B + b) × h] / 2
where:
B = major base = 36 in
b = minor base = 30 in
h = height = 24 in
Therefore, with the given data you can calculate the area by applying the formula:
<span>A = [(36 + 30) × 24] / 2
= [66 </span><span>× 24] / 2
= 792 in</span>²
Hence, the area of the trapezoid is 792 in<span>².</span>
