Answer:

The length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

let "x" be the length of the pencils

let "y" be the length of the crayons

4 * x + 3 * y = 20.9

5 * x + 4 * y = 26.5 => x = (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5

Replacing:

4 * (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5 + 3 * y = 20.9

21.2 - 3.2 * y + 3 * y = 20.9

-0.2 * y = 20.9 - 21.2

y = -0.3 / -0.2

y = 1.5

now for x:

x = (26.5 - 4 * 1.5) / 5

x = 4.1

This means that the length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

Find the value of y if VP is an angel bisector, m&lt;2=1+28y and m
galben [10]

Answer:

\boxed{y=1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since m\angle1=m\angle2 due to \over{VP} is an angle bisector, we have the following:

m\angle1+m\angle2=m\angle XVW\\(1+28y)+(1+28y)=59y-1\\2+56y=59y-1\\2+1=59y-56y\\3=3y\\y=1
