Okay, to find length CE, your going to know the value of <em>x</em>. Length BC + CE = BD + DE.
3x+47+x+26=27+x+10
Simplify the equation to get
4x+73=37+x
you can choose one of four ways to continue, but I will choose to subtract x
3x+73=37
Subtract 73 from both sides of the equal sign
3x=-36
divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign to get the value of x
x=-12
Now, plug in -12 for x in length CE to get -12+26=14
Y = -7
or
x = 10
or
y = x - 13
there can be endless answers
<span>Neighbor: 2/5(x) </span>
<span>Remainder = x - 2/5(x) = 3/5(x) </span>
<span>Cousin = 4/9 * 3/5(x) = 4/15(x) </span>
<span>x - 2/5(x) - 4/15(x) = 15 </span>
<span>x - 6/15(x) - 4/15(x) = 15 </span>
<span>x - 10/15(x) = 15 </span>
<span>(15x - 10x) = 225 </span>
<span>5x = 225 </span>
<span>x = 225/5 = 45 </span>
<span>Therefore, he made 45 rolls</span>
62% because 200 silver coins out of 323 (total of all coins) is .619..., resulting in 62%
