We have the following:

solving for x

The solution of x is equal to 28, therefore 12 is not a solution of the equation
Answer: Choice A)

=================================================
Work Shown:

This is not the only way to solve for H.
Answer:
58.2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the length of RS using similarity ratio
7/34 = 12/RS cross multiply expressions
7RS = 408 divide both sides by 7
RS = 58.2 approximately.
A) the middle of the range is 39.5%
b) the difference between the middle and the ends of the range is ±1.5%
c) less than a majority favor change. Change seems unlikely.
Answer:
(7, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply first eq. by 3 to get 6x - 3y = 60
now do
6x + 3y = 60
- 6x - 5y = 12
--------------------
8y = 48
solve for y: y = 6
with this y value, plug it in to the first equation (easier to solve) and get 2x + 6 = 20
solve for x and get x = 7
so ans is (7, 6)
