Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5

There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the square base of a pyramid = 7.3 ft
The height of the pyramid, h = 6ft
The perimeter of a square is given by :
P = 4s, s is the side of square
7.3 = 4s
s = 1.825 ft
The volume of a pyramid is given by :
Here, l = b = 1.825 ft
So,
So, the volume of the pyramid is equal to .
