Are they two different questions
It is 1/4.
9/9=1
36/9=4
9/3611/4
<span>parallelogram, opposite sides are equal
</span>so
5x - 8 = 2x + 7
3x = 15
x = 5
hope it helps
To solve for 2 variables, you need 2 equations. The best you could do with only one equation would be to find 'a' in terms of 'b'. Just looking it over and without putting pen to paper, it looks to me like one possible solution is [ a = 4, b = 0 ].
That is about a 99% chance the kids will have red hair, sometimes they take different jeans from their aunts of uncles, maybe even grandparents.
