Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
40 x 76 is the equation by 4x4 of 86 and the 36
X=2
subtract 5x on both sides
-2x=-4
divide by -1 on both sides
2x=4
divide by 2 on both sides
x= 2
Move the 14 over and get
5x = 2
divide by 5
x = 2/5
The area of the yard is 50,600 square feet.
Option: C.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The given information forms a trapezoid.
The AB is the upper base (a) and its length is 200 feet.
The CD is the lower base (b) and its length is 260 feet.
A straight line distance from AB and CD is the height (h) and its measures as 220 feet.
The area of trapezoid A=
.
A=
.
=
.
=230(220).
=50600 
Thus the area of John's yard is 50,600 square feet.
So there are two ways.
First you could solve for y and plug it into the calculator. one equation for y1 and another for y2. Then go 2nd trace and press 5 and then press enter 3 times to find the intersection.
the second way is to solve by hand. I would suggest solve the first equation for y and plug the equation solved for y into the other equation. so y = -3x + 9 and 3x-5y=15. Then you could do 3x - 5(-3x+9) = 15. Finally solve for x and plug in x into both equations to see if you get the same y value.
The answer should be (10/3, -1)
