Hi there!
Since the triangle is equilateral, all of its sides are congruent. This means that to solve, we can set the two given equations equal to each other.
2(x - 8) = 1/2x + 8
2x - 16 = 1/2x + 8
1.5x - 16 = 8
1.5x = 24
x = 16
Now that we know what x is, we can plug that in for x in the equation for ZY.
2(16 - 8) = ZY
ZY = 2(8)
ZY = 16 units
And here is the work to show that XZ is also 16.
1/2(16) + 8 = XZ
XZ = 8 + 8
XZ = 16
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
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

Ok...I considered it....oh..u want me to answer it...lol..ok
5/6(1/2x + 6) - 3x
5/12x + 30/6 - 3x
5/12x - 36/12x + 5
- 31/12x + 5 <===
