Answer: on the first day, they hiked 9 miles.

On the second day, they hiked 16 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance that the two hikers hiked from the first mountain to the second mountain.

Let y represent the distance that the two hikers hiked from the second mountain to the hollow.

The total distance is 25mi. This means that

x + y = 25 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

If the distance between the second mountain and the hollow is 7mi more than the distance from the first mountain to the second mountain, it means that

y = x + 7

Substituting y = x + 7 into equation 1, it becomes

x + x + 7 = 25

2x = 25 - 7

2x = 18

x = 18/2 = 9

y = x + 7 = 9 + 7

y = 16

Answer:

<h2><u>The amount paid to an employee was </u><u>162</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>The expression 12h + 30w Identifies the amount paid to an employee.</u></h2><h2><u>Let h represent hours and let w represent the total amount of g-wagons sold. </u></h2><h2><u>Since the question explains that an employee works 6 hours and sells 3 wagons, put h as h = 6 and w as w = 3. We would end up getting this equation. 12h + 30w = 12(6) + 30(3).</u></h2><h2><u>Now all you need to do is solve it.</u></h2><h2><u>left side = 72</u></h2><h2><u>right side = 90</u></h2><h2><u>72 + 90 =</u><u> 162</u></h2>

In the Isoceles triangle, the legs
aalyn [17]

Check the picture below.

since we know that x = 3/7, we can then plug that on either of the twin legs, since it's an isosceles, and get the length of each leg, so say let's plug it in 5x + 16

5x + 16\implies 5\left( \cfrac{3}{7} \right)+16\implies \cfrac{38}{7}+16\implies \cfrac{38+112}{7}\implies \cfrac{150}{7}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\\stackrel{\textit{both legs}}{\cfrac{150}{7}+\cfrac{150}{7}}+\stackrel{\textit{base}}{6}\implies \cfrac{150+150+42}{7}\implies \cfrac{342}{7}\implies 48\frac{6}{7}\impliedby \textit{perimeter}
