Answer:
The answer is x=16 so whatever the equations should look like it should be this:
Step-by-step explanation: 5(x-12)=20 5x-60=20 add 60 to 20 and get 5x=80 x=16
Answer:
The staircase would extends 1.20 m if the changes were made.
Step-by-step explanation:
Acording tho the statement the total heigth is 5.04 m, that is 504 cm, each steps rises 21 cm. with this information we can calculte how many steps are in the whole staircase:

To calculate how much the staircase will extend, whe have to multiply the horizontal depth times the number of steps.
using the run of 24 cm that gives us a lengt of 576 cm and if the changes were made the new length will be 696 cm.
So the staircase would extend an amount of (696 - 576), that is 120 cm, or 1.20 m, if the changes were made.

x=1, y=-4.
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
Decided by 12 is 2 your welcome
