Ann initially had a number of stickers represented by the equation 7y + 12, where y is the number of stickers given to each of her 7 friends. After distributing the stickers, she was left with 12 stickers. When each friend received 9 stickers, the total number of stickers Ann had at first was calculated as 7 times 9 plus 12, resulting in 75 stickers. The calculations confirm the initial equations and provide clarity on the distribution of stickers.

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
