To start, you need to subtract 4x from both sides, that way, x is one one sid of the equation.
A)24 boards/1 * 47.5 inch/boards * 1 ft/12in = 95 ft.
according to dimensional analysis the answer is 95 ft.
b) 95/8 is approximately 12 so 12 boards are needed.
The answer: x=857 and y=-401
Set up the two equations
X+2y=55
2x+y=1313
Solve the system of equations by elimination
2x+y=1313
-2x-4y=-110
Add each of the corresponding terms together
-3y=1203
Divide by -3
Y=-401
Plug y back into one of the original equations
X+2(-401)=55
X-802=55
X=857
Answer:
i think this is the answer
