Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "s" the length in meters of the short piece and "l" the lenght in meters of the long piece.
Set up a system of equations:

Apply the Substitution Method to solve the system. Substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for "l":

Susbstitute the value of "l" into the second equation in order to find the value of "s". This is:

Answer:
14 or 11
Step-by-step explanation:
because 14 is more than 11 and the question asks how many people it feeds not how many people can it feed out the people there
<span>1. Let t = time in years, with t = 0 representing the year 2005. Let f(t) = the number of students enrolled at the private school and g(t) = the number of students enrolled at the public school. Create the two functions to represent the situation.
f(t) = 85 + 18t </span>⇒ y = 85 + 18x<span>
g(t) = 95 + 15t </span>⇒ y = 95 + 15x
y = y
85 + 18x = 95 + 15x
18x - 15x = 95 - 85
3x = 10
x = 10/3
x = 3 1/3
y = 85 +18(10/3) = 85 + 180/3 = 85 + 60 = 145
y = 95 + 15(10/3) = 95 + 150/3 = 95 + 50 = 145
x = 10/3 or 3 1/3
y = 145
7) 52h because that's how you'd find the distance traveled if there was a number instead of a variable.(d=st)
8)525+3w because you have to add his original total to the amount of cds he will get and if he gets 3 every week that's 3w and then you add them to get the new total.
Using the Pythagoras theorem
15^2 = x^2 + h^2 where h = height of ladder on the nuiding
h^2 = 15^2 - 6^2 = 189
= 13.75 ft to nearest hundredth
