5 0

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbol of the inequality ">" means "greater than". Then, -5 is greater than -6.

If a negative number -a is greater than other negative number -b , then the distance between -a and zero is shorter than the distance between -b and zero.

You can see in the number line attached that -5 is closer to 0 than -6. Therefore, -5 is located to the right of -6.

X+y=11

x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y

sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3

sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8

the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
