An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The correct option is x+y=557 and Three-fifths(x)+five-sixths(y)=407.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Let the total number of pages in the shorter book be represented by x, and the total number of pages in the longer book be represented by y.

Given the total number of pages of the shorter book and the longer book is 557. Therefore, the equation can be written as,

x+y =557

Also, Scott reads Three-fifths of the shorter book and StartFraction 5 Over 6 EndFraction of the longer book, which is equal to 407 pages. Therefore,

(3/5)x + (5/6)y = 407

Hence, the correct option is x+y=557 and Three-fifths(x)+five-sixths(y)=407.

Sam Houston's Arms

OLga [1]

Answer:

The length of the statue's arm is<u> 26.22 ft.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the statue's arm be 'x'.

Given:

Height of statue is, $H=67\ ft$

Height of male is, $h=5\ ft\ 9\ in=5\ ft+\frac{9}{12}\ ft=5+0.75=5.75\ ft$

Length of the male's arm is, $l=27\ in=\frac{27}{12}=2.25\ ft$

Now, as the size of Sam Houston's statue is proportional to that of an adult male, therefore, their heights and arm lengths will also be in proportion. So,

$\frac{H}{h}=\frac{x}{l}\\x=\frac{H}{h}\times l$
