Answer:the number is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let x be the number  13 was subtracted from so  that the difference becomes x-13

i.  dividing  the resulting difference by 5, then  (x-13)/5

ii.  Multiplying  the quotient by 7 makes  the expression become (x-13)/5 x 7

 with the product coming  to -7  we have our final equation as

(x-13)/5 x 7 = -7

Step 2 -----solving  the equation

(x-13)/5 x 7 = -7

Ist  divide  both sides by 7,

(x-13)/5 =-1

cross multiplying gives

x-13=-5

x= -5+ 13

x=8

the number is 8

klasskru [66]

Answer:

a= 18x

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+d)/2 = 10x   (1)

(b +c)/2 = 8x  (2)

(b+c+d)/3 = 6x (3)

From the equation 2, we have (b+c)= 8x *2 = 16x

From the equation 3, we have d= 6x*3 - (b+c)= 18x- 16x = 2x

From the equation 1, we have a= 10x*2 -d= 20x - 2x= 18x

Find the area and perimeter of the shaded figure
puteri [66]

Answer:

Area - 6 unit^2   Perimeter - 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded figure is 3 units long and 2 units high.

L = 3  W = 2

A = LW

A = 3 x 2 = 6 unit^2

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

P = 2(3) + 2(2)

P = 6 + 4 = 10 units
