Answer:

She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.

Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.

Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)

Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.

To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.

Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)

Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.

From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:

25(12 - s) + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 25s + 10s = 180

300 - 15s = 180

15s = 300 - 180

15s = 120

S = 120/15

S = 8

S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4

I will mark as brainiest
Margaret [11]

If two triangles are similar, then their side lengths are proportional.

RS / JK = RT / JL

5 / x = 4 / 7

4x = 35

x = 35/4 = 8.75

RT / JL = TS / LK

4 / 7 = 6 / (y + 2)

42 = 4(y + 2)

42 = 4y + 4

4y = 38

y = 38/4 = 9.5

LK = 9.5 + 2 = 11.5 cm

JK = x = 8.75

Hope this helps!
