Both form straight angles, which are 180 degrees.

x+4y+x+y=180
2x+5y=180

4x+y=180

Solve the second equation for y and substitute the variable.
y= -4x+180

2x+5(-4x+180)=180
2x-20x+900=180
-18x= -720
x=40

Plug the x value in
4(40)+y= 180
160+y=180
y=20

Final answer: x=40, y=20

X+4y+x+y= 4x+y=180
simplify by adding like terms
2x+5y= 4x+y=180
Subtract y from each side
2x+4y=4x=180
Subtract 2x from each side
4y=2x=180
y=180/4=45
x=180/2=90

After painting the fence steve and janet realize that their house also needs painting. But steve will have to do the painting hi

gladu [14]

Answer:

Therefore, Steve will paint house for 20.6 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Steve determines that it would take them 9 days to paint the house together (if they were both healthy) and that it would take Janet (when healthy) 16 days to paint the house alone.

We conclude that in 1 day Janet painted 1/16 of the house. In nine days, Janet painted 9/16 of house.

So, 7/16 of house paint Steve in nine days.

We have the following proportion:

$\frac{7}{16}:9=1:x\\\\\frac{7}{16}x=9\\\\x=9\cdot \frac{16}{7}\\\\x=20.6$

Therefore, Steve will paint house for 20.6 days.
