Step-by-step explanation:

using elimination method because this is a simultaneous equation

3×x+6×y=111

x+y=27

1×[3x+6y=111]

3×[x+y=27]

3x+6y=111—equation 1

3x+3y=81—equation 2

substrate equation 1 from equation 2

3y=30

divide both sides by 3

y=10

substitute 10 for y in equation 1

3x+6y=111

3x+6(10)=111

3x+60=111

3x=111-60

3x=51

divide both sides by 3

x=17

Employees of a landscaping company built a retaining wall. They used brick to make the top 2/3 of the wall. The wall is 8and 1/2
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Height of the brick portion of the wall is 5.61 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Employees of the landscaping company used brick to build the top 2/3 of the wall. The total dimensions of the wall are 8 and 1/2 * 2 and 3/4 feet. So the height of the wall = 8 and 1/2 feet or in other words 8.75 feet.

Height of the brick portion of the wall = 2/3 * 8.5 = 0.66 * 8.5 = 5.61 feet

So the height of the brick portion of the wall is 5.61 feet.

Non brick portion of the wall is 8.5 - 5.61 = 2.89
