You can substitute what y is into the second equation, so:
3x + 4(2x + 1) = 26
3x + 8x + 4 = 26
11x + 4 = 26
- 4
11x = 22
÷ 11
x = 2
y = (2 × 2) + 1
y = 5 + 1
y = 5
So you get x as 2 and y as 5, I hope this helps!
Answer:
They will be picked up at 2 
yards above sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider sea level as reference and positions above sea level as positive and below sea level as negative.
With respect to this reference,
the position of top most point is +17 
yards
and the position of lower most point is -13 yards
⇒ The position of midpoint is 
= +2
∴ <u>They will be picked up at 2 yards above sea level</u>
Alright, so for AB and CD to be parallel, CX and DX would have to be equal, as is with AX and BX. In addition, for CD and AB to be parallel, all sides in both triangles are either equal or not all sides in even one triangle are equal. Therefore, CD is not 3. In addition, two sides of a triangle combined must be greater than the third, so that leaves 5, 4, and 2 for CD. If it was 5, that would mean that all sides are equal, so that leaves 4 and 2. However, I don't see anything to prove either one right, sorry:/
