Answer:
x=7
y=18
The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.
The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5 = x+12 and y-4 = x+5
Solve for x first
2x+5-5 = x+12-5 Subtract 5 from both sides to eliminate it.
2x-x = x-x+7 Subtract x from both sides to eliminate it.
x=7 Now, substitute 7 for x in y-4 = x+5 to solve for y.
y-4 = (7)+5
y-4 = 12
y-4+4 = 12+4 Add 4 to both sides to eliminate it.
y = 18
Finally, we can substitute 7 for x and 18 for y in all equations to see the lengths of each side.
(18)-4=14 The length of each of the two shorter sides is 14.
2(7)+5=19 The length of each of the two longer sides is 19.
If you are trying to find tax, the answer is $23.67,

171 / 7.6 = 22.5 miles per gallon
22.5 x 12.5 = 281.25 miles she can drive
Answer:
22) 119
24) 15
Step-by-step explanation:
22) 61 + b = 180 <-- supplementary because on the same line
b = 119 <-- subtracted 61 from both sides
24) 87 + (6x + 3) = 180 <-- supplementary because on the same line
87 + 6x + 3 = 180 <-- take out parantheses
90 + 6x = 180 <-- add like terms
6x = 90 <-- subtracted 90 from both sides
x = 15 <-- solve for x by dividing 6 from both sides
82/100 or 41/50 if you simplify
