Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.
On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of 
On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of 
So, the equation we want to solve is
Subtract 3x from both sides:
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer:
A: 6 triangles with height 10.4 inches each and base 12 inche
B: 62.4 square inches
C: 374.4 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: You can form a triangle by connecting E to the top of the segment and connecting the top of the segment to D. Recreating this with each section will create 6 triangles with height 10.4 inches each and base 12 inches.
Part B: The area of a triangle is A = 1/2b*h. Substitute h = 10.4 and b = 12.
A = 1/2*10.4*12 = 62.4
Part C: There are 6 triangles each with area 62.4. So the area of the whole figure will be 6*62.4 = 374.4.
X=hours of plan A
y=hours of plan B
wed: 5x+6y=12
thu: 3x+2y=6
so
5x+6y=12 and
3x+2y=6
we can eliminate y's by multiplying 2nd equation by -3 and adding to first equation
-9x-6y=-18
<u>5x+6y=12 +</u>
-4x+0y=-6
-4x=-6
divid both sides by -4
x=-6/-4
x=3/2
x=1.5
sub back
3x+2y=6
3(1.5)+2y=6
4.5+2y=6
2y=1.5
y=0.75
Plan A=1.5 hours
Plan B=0.75 hours
$53.40 is 4lb of crab legs
Bro you just gotta multiply $13.35x4=$53.40
i think D hope it helps
