Answer:

the value of x = 9  and y =11.

Given the system of equation:

12x + 4y =152                  .......[1]

32x + 12y = 420              ......[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 3 we get;

Using distributive property:  

            ......[3]

On solving equation [2] and [3] simultaneously we get;

x = 9

Substitute the value of x= 9 in [1] to solve for y;

108 + 4y = 152

Subtract 108 from both sides we have;

108 + 4y -108 = 152- 108

Simplify:

4y = 44

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

Simplify:

y= 11

therefore, the value of x = 9  and y =11.

A model car is 8 inches long and 5.2
Sphinxa [80]
Use proportions here - 8/5.2 = 96/width of actual car. using cross multiplication, 5.2*96 = 8x. this gives you 499.2 = 8x. divide both sides by eight to get x=62.4. the width of the actual car is 62.4 inches.
