The area is 864 square, or 6 square feet.
The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5
x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5
The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15
Answer:
x= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the terms -> -1=14x = -12x + 16
Find out the sum -> 2x=17+1
Divide both by the equation by two -> 2x=18 x=9
Final answer: x=9
Distributive property to become (2x+14)+3x=12
