First set up an equation as your approach. I will use the equation x+4x=24 because that way you are saying that something pluse itself times 4 equals 24 which is what you want.

simplify the equation

5x=24

x=24/5

So you know onw piece will be 24/5 of a foot and the ither qould be that times 4 so 96/24 of a foot. In decimals it would be 4.8 and 19.2

Use the elimination to solve this equation. <br><br> 2x+3y=55 <br> 9x+4y=105
seropon [69]
X=5 y=15 (5,15). 
This is how you do it:
-4(2x+3y=55): -8x-12y=-220
3(9x+4y=105):27x+12y=315

You add the two new equations together, canceling out the y values, and get the x value. Then, you go back and plug in the x value in the original equation to get the y value.

Use elimination to solve<br><br> 3y-6x=7-4y-3x=9
Masja [62]
Reorder both sides

3y-6x=9
7-4y-3x=9

Multiply both sides
-6x-3y=9
6x+8y=-4

Dived both sides

11y= 5

Y=5/11

Substitute the value of Y

-3x-4(5/11)

Equals —> -14/11

Answer : (5/11 , -14/11)
