Check the picture below.

so the picture has a rectangle that is 8 units high and 12 units wide, and it has a couple of "empty" trapezoids, with a height of 5 and "bases" of 9 and 3.

now, if we just take the whole area of the rectangle and then subtract the area of those two trapezoids, what's leftover is the blue area.

$\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=5\\ a=9\\ b=3 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{5(9+3)}{2}\implies A=30 \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{\large Areas}}{\stackrel{rectangle}{(12\cdot 8)}~~ -~~\stackrel{\textit{two trapezoids}}{2(30)}}\implies 96-60\implies 36$

What is the solution to the equation –10.3+y = 5.2?

quester [9]

-10.3 + y = 5.2

First, regroup the terms. / Your problem should look like: $y - 10.3 = 5.2$
Second, add 10.3 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: $y = 5.2 + 10.3$
Third, add 5.2 + 10.3 to get 15.5 / Your problem should look like: $y = 15.5$

Answer: y = 15.5 (D)

Find the missing numerators in each of the following problems. a. 10⁄15 = ⁄60 b. ⁄108 = 4⁄9 c. 7⁄11 = ⁄121 d. ⁄144 = 2⁄6

Zinaida [17]

We will find the numerator step by step for each expression:
For 10/15 = x / 60
x = (10/15) * (60)
x = 40

For  x / 108 = 4/9
x = (4/9) * (108)
x = 48

For  7/11 = x / 121
x = (7/11) * (121)
x = 77

For  x / 144 = 2/6
x = (2/6) * (144)
x = 48
