Answer:

y = -13.5

x = -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let the two numbers be equal to <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>.

The difference of two numbers is 3 ⇒ x - y = 3

Their sum is - 24 ⇒ x + y = -24

Solve using elimination:

x - y = 3

x + y = -24

Add the two equations:

x + x - y + y = 3 - 24

2x = -21

x = -10.5

Solve for y:

-10.5 - y = 3

- y = 3 + 10.5

y = -13.5

I hope this helps!

First lets get the formula for a triangular prism

v =( \frac{1}{2} bh)h

First lets plug in our numbers

v =( \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 4)8.5

It really doesnt matter how you multiply everything, but you end up with 119cubic feet.

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
