Answer:
55 sq meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of big triangle 7x5=35/2
but there's two big triangle so 35/2 x 2 =35
area of small triangle 5x4=20/2 10
10 x 2 =20. And then combine 20+35=55
So the area is 55 sq meters.
The answer to 2y+7(y-3)=60 is y=9
Answer: The time taken by both of them if they work together is given by

Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Time taken by Blake to paint one room = 9 hours
Time taken by Ned to paint one room = 6 hours
Work done by Blake = 
Work done by Ned = 
Total work done by both of them together is given by

So, the time taken by both of them if they work together is given by

It would last 13.5 weeks because you would make a proportion:
12/16 = x/18 and then cross multiply. You would get 216=16x, then you have to divide both sides by 16 to get x = 13.5
