Answer :Anita's age = 7 years

Basilio's age = 2.5 years

Step 1. Assign variables to Anita's and Basilio's ages.

Anita's age = A

Basilio's age = B

 

Step 2. Use the information given to form two equations.

Anita is 4-1/2 years older than Basilio

A = 4.5 + B

 

Three times Anita's age added to six times Basilio's age is 36

3A + 6B = 36

 

Step 3. Substitute the value of A from first equation in to the second equation and solve for B

3(4.5 + B) + 6B = 36

13.5 + 3B + 6B = 36

13.5 + 9B = 36

9B = 36 - 13.5

9B = 22.5

B = 22.5/9 = 2.5

 

Step 4. Find the value of A

A = 4.5 + 2.5 = 7

 

Answer:

Anita's age = 7 years

Basilio's age = 2.5 years

The surface are I cannot find

check the picture below.


so the triangular prism is really just 3 rectangles and 2 right-triangles,

now, we know the base of one of the triangles is 2.6, what's its height?

since it's a right-triangle, we can simply use the pythagorean theorem to get "h".


\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem}
\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b
\qquad
\begin{cases}
c=\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5.2}\\
a=\stackrel{adjacent}{2.6}\\
b=\stackrel{opposite}{h}\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\sqrt{5.2^2-2.6^2}=h\implies 4.5\approx h


so, we can now, simply get the area of both of the triangles and the three rectangles and sum them up, and that's the area of the triangular prism.


\bf \stackrel{two~triangles}{2\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(2.6)(4.5) \right]}~~+~~\stackrel{rectangle}{(2.6\cdot 4.3)}~~+~~\stackrel{rectangle}{(4.3\cdot 3.9)}~~+~~\stackrel{rectangle}{(4.3\cdot 5.2)}
\\\\\\
11.7+11.18+22.36\implies \blacktriangleright 45.24 \blacktriangleleft

(-3) + 8 – 7x7<br> I need help with this on
nika2105 [10]

Answer: -44

Step-by-step explanation: PEMDAS(Parenthesis; Exponent; Multiply; Divide; Add; Subtract)

First you multiply the seven with the other seven to get 49. The problem will look like this: (-3) + 8 - 49. Now just add the -3 and 8. You'd get 5.

Now the problem looks like this: 5 - 49. And you then get -44.
