Answer:
Some of the other answers are good examples of solving a system of three equations in three unknowns, which is what this problem is asking. Though the simplest way to solve this problem is actually to notice that, if we sum the three equations, we get:
X + Y = 10
X + Z = 20
+ Y + Z = 24
----------------
2X + 2Y + 2Z = 54
Factoring out the 2, we have 2(X + Y + Z) = 54, and dividing both sides by 2 reveals that X + Y + Z = 27.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for area of a rectange is lw, where l is length and w is width. Since x-4 and 5x+2 are the sides, we can multiply them together to give us the area. We do (x-4)(5x+2). We use the FOIL method (First Outside Inside Last) and get 5x^2-18x-8.
