Create a a system of 2 equations: 2x + y = 27 and 2y + x = 9, with x being the first number and y being the second. solve for the two variables and you'll get the first number is 15 and the second is -3.
Answer:
50,000 ≤ 23,210 + 5x
x = Average number of words per week
Step-by-step explanation:
Start off with 50,000 because that's how many words the paper needs to have.
Use "≤" because Trevor needs to write at least 50,000 words. (He can write more).
Trevor already wrote 23,210 words plus x words per week for 5 weeks.
(Solving for x will help you find the average number of words Trevor must write per week for 5 weeks).
Okay, to find length CE, your going to know the value of <em>x</em>. Length BC + CE = BD + DE.
3x+47+x+26=27+x+10
Simplify the equation to get
4x+73=37+x
you can choose one of four ways to continue, but I will choose to subtract x
3x+73=37
Subtract 73 from both sides of the equal sign
3x=-36
divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign to get the value of x
x=-12
Now, plug in -12 for x in length CE to get -12+26=14
Answer:
<em>The shaded region has an area of 1400 square units</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Area of Compound Shapes</u>
We are given a shape and it's required to calculate its area. The shape can be divided into three rectangles as shown in the figure attached below.
The lengths of these rectangles are x, y, and z.
The value of x can be calculated as:
x = 60 - 15 - 10 = 35
Similarly:
y = 60 - 15 = 45
z = y = 45
The first rectangle has dimensions of x by 10, thus its area is:
A1 = 35*10 = 350
The second rectangle has dimensions of 60 by 10:
A2 = 60*10 = 600
The third rectangle has dimensions y by 10:
A3 = 55*10 = 450
The shaded area is:
A = 350 + 600 + 450 = 1400
The shaded region has an area of 1400 square units
66 square inches
Area of rectangle plus area of triangle
