Answer:

(10, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system let's use substitution:

Solve the first equation for x, obtaining x = 24 - y, and then substitute 24 - y for x in the second equation:

3(24 - y) + 5y = 100

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

72 - 3y + 5y = 100

Combining like terms results in 72 - 100 = -2y, or -28 = -2y

Thus, y must be 14.

If y = 14, then the first equation tells us that x = 10.

Check: Is this true? 3(10) + 5(14) = 100 YES

The solution is (10, 14).

JKL is similar to PQR

so they want PR

JKL is similar to PQR

So PR is similar to JL

And they also give us the sides KL and QR

JKL is similar to PQR

Both of those sides are similar, so we can form a proportion.

$\sf { \frac{PR}{JL} = \frac{QR}{KL} }$

Plug in the numbers:

$\sf { \frac{PR}{6} = \frac{15}{9} }$

Cross multiply:

$\sf{ PR \times 9 = 6 \times 15}$

Isolate PR

$\sf{ PR = \frac{6 \times 15}{9}}$

Simplify it

$\sf{ PR = 10}$

So your final answer is

$\boxed{\bf{10 centimeters}}$
