Answer: x = 9/4, y = 7/6

║<span>2x + 3y = 8
</span>║<span>4x - 6y = 2

</span>║4x + 6y = 16
║4x - 6y = 2

Add both equations together:

8x = 18
x = 9/4

Sub x = 9/4 into 2x + 3y = 8 
2(9/4) + 3y = 8
9/2 + 3y = 8
3y = 7/2
y = 7/6

Answer:

  x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the segments proportionally. This means they satisfy ...

  bottom segment / side segment = x/6 = (6-x)/4

Multiplying by 12 gives ...

  2x = 3(6 -x)

  2x = 18 -3x . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5x = 18 . . . . . . . . add 3x

  x = 3.6 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

I like to try to work these mentally. The total of side lengths is 10, so the total base length (6) is 6/10 = 0.6 times that. Then x will be 0.6 times the left side length: 0.6·6 = 3.6 = x.

Dario bakes a lasagna containing 2/3 pound of parmesan cheese, 5/4 pounds of ricotta cheese, and 4/3 pounds of mozzarella cheese
kap26 [50]
First, we have to figure out how much cheese we have total. Do this by adding up all of the various cheeses.

\frac{2}{3}  +  \frac{4}{3}  +  \frac{5}{4} \\  \frac{6}{3}  + 1 +  \frac{1}{4}  \\ 3 \frac{1}{4}
Now to split the cheeses into sections of 1/4 pound each, we have to divide by 1/4, which is the same as multipling by 4

3 \frac{1}{4}  \times 4 = 12 + 1 = 13

13 slices total
