Answer:

  (x, y) = (8, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant equations are ...

  3x -y = 22

  x +2y = 12

__

We can eliminate y by adding twice the first equation to the second.

  2(3x -y) +(x +2y) = 2(22) +(12)

  7x = 56

  x = 8

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

  3(8) -y = 22

  y = 24 -22 = 2

The first number is 8; the second number is 2.

Daniel wants to create a banner for his construction business to hang at the house he just built. Daniel will use a single sign
Nina [5.8K]
The solution for this problem is just simple. It tells you to find the area in square feet. Thus, convert the units to feet first. The conversion you need to know are: 12 in = 1 ft and 3 ft = 1 yard.

Width = 42 in * 1 ft/12 in = 3.5 ft
Length = 10 yards * 3 ft/1 yard = 30 ft

Area = Length*Width = 30*3.5
<em>Area = 105 ft²</em>
