Answer:

1.2x +x =792

2.2x =792

And we got finally:

x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden so then the total is represented by 792 ft

We also know that Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of the fence than Matias did. Let's assume that the amount that construct by Matias was x then the amount constructed by Zaid would be 1.2 x representing 20% more than Matias and we can set up the following equation:

1.2x +x =792

2.2x =792

And we got finally:

x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

Answer:

B) −2

Explanation:

When x is positive then y is positive integer.

When x is negative then y is negative integer.

<u>For Option A</u>

  • y = 2(-3) + 5
  • y = -1              [x is negative so is y]

<u>For Option B</u>

  • y = 2(-2) + 5
  • y = 1               [<u>x is negative</u> but <u>y is positive</u>]

<u>For Option C</u>

  • y = 2(1) + 5
  • y = 7               [x is positive so is y]

<u>For Option D</u>

  • y = 2(2) + 5
  • y = 9                [x is positive so is y]

This problem really confuses me, help?
OLga [1]
So k in the first problem would =1/2
and i guess in the second problem just put k in place of the first space and in the second space put 8 for x. y would then =4. Idk if I did this right, though, I'm honestly a little confused too.
