3x+17=x+53 ( the angles are equal)
3x-x=53-17
2x=36
x=36:2
x=18
Answer:
<h2>
75.398 m²</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:

What's the problem? I don't see the equation.
We need to write system of equations for this problem. Reading text we write 1 equation by 1.
first lets name our variables
x - Kiana cards
y - Gary cards
z - Monty cards
m - Willa cards
x = y-3 which we can write as y = x+3
z = x + 7
m = 2z
x + y + z + m = 74
I think easiest way to solve this is to express all variables in last equation and solve for x.
x + x+3 + x + 7+ 2x + 14= 74
5x = 50
x = 10
now we just calculate cards given to each friend
y = 13
z = 17
m = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
[1/2]^-2= 4
[1/3]^-2=9
[1/4]^-2=16
So sum is 4+9+16=29
Hope this helps you.
