We are given with two equations to find the values of two variables, hence the problem can be solved.
Adding the two equations:
x + y = 12<u>x - y = 10
</u>2x = 22
<u />x =11
y = 1
Answer:
$22,500
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 of $15000 is $7500, $7500+$15000 is $22,500

Answer:</h2>
<u>, "six and one over two ft".</u>
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
Let's considerate the fact that the garden has a <u>square shape</u>.
<h3>1. Finding values of interest.</h3>
Amount of fence that the gardener already has:
ft.
Length of one side:
ft.
If one side measures
ft, and the square garden has 4 sides of equal length, because it's a square, then we must multiply the measure of one side by 4 to find the total length of fence needed:

<h3>
2. How much more does he need?</h3>
The gardener already has
, which equals
. Hence, the difference between the amount needed and the amount that the gardeneralready has will give us the remaining amount required. Let's do that:

<h3>3. Express your result.</h3>

Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Δ NML and Δ PST are similar right triangles, we can set up the following proportional statement to establish their relationship:


Cross multiply:
8(x + 2) = 10 (x - 1)
8x + 16 = 10x - 10
Subtract 8x from both sides:
8x - 8x + 16 = 10x - 8x - 10
16 = 2x - 10
Add 10 to both sides:
16 + 10 = 2x - 10 + 10
26 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:

13 = x
Verify whether x = 13 is the correct value:




This shows the proportional relationship between
, and that ΔNML and ΔPST are indeed similar right triangles.
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 13.
#4 is actually f(x) + 18. #5 is f(x) + 201, #5 is f(x) + 316.
