Answer:
WX = 33
(x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you WX is a midline, so has the measure of the average of the two bases.
WX = (PQ +SR)/2 = (27 +39)/2 = 66/2
WX = 33
__
The hash marks also tell you ...
PW = WS
y +4x = 18 . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
and also
QX = XR
2y +x = 22 . . . . . substitute the given expressions
__
If you solve the first equation for y, you get ...
y = 18 -4x
Substituting that into the second equation gives ...
2(18-4x) +x = 22
36 -7x = 22 . . . . . . . simplify
14 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . add 7x-22 to both sides
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
y = 18 -4(2) = 10 . . . find y using the above relation
The values of x and y are 2 and 10, respectively.

My favorite "quick and dirty" way to solve a set of linear equations is using a graphing calculator. It works well for integer solutions.
You did not provide 10 cuts for Tia. This problem cannot be solved.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 44
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 of the slab are grey implies that 4/5 are yellow.
The ratio of grey to yellow is thus given as :
1/5 : 4/5
which is 1 : 4
Therefore , the ratio of grey to yellow is 1: 4
The total ratio = 1 + 4 = 5
To calculate the number of yellow , we use the formula
number of yellow =
X total number of slabs , that is
number of yellow =
X 55
number of yellow slab = 44
5% of the kids are in health. I got this from simplifying 3/60 which is 1/20
After that, i set up this equation: 1/20 times x/100
I would then divide 20 and 100 to get 5 and that’s basically what I did
