For the answer to the two questions above,
3x + 2y = 36.50 (I)
2x + 5y = 50 (II)
Eliminating x from the two equations by subtraction:
first we multiply equation I by 2 and equation II by 3
6x + 4y = 73
6x + 15y = 150
Subtracting the two,
-11y = -77
y = 7
He earns $7 at the coffee cart
Substituting y into equation I,
3x + 14 = 36.5
x = $7.50

So we can conclude that, he earns a greater wage of $7.50 at the library,

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

I can  be wrong but i most likely sure it is correct because a triangle is 180 degrees you have to add 102 with 52 take that total and subtract it with 180 to find that angle is what you need to find the length. Again i am not sure but might be right.
