Answer:
The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t= length of the top shelf, m = length of middle shelf and b = length of bottom shelf.
Therefore:
t = m - 1/2; m = t + 1/2
Also, b = 2t - 1/2
The total of the three shelves is 20 feet, therefore:
t + m + b = 20
Substituting:
t + t + 1/2 + 2t - 1/2 = 20
4t = 20
t = 20/4
t = 5 feet
m = t + 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 5.5 feet
b = 2t - 1/2 = 2(5) - 1/2 = 9.5 feet
The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Answer:
4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope(m) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Pick two points on your graph that are closest to clear values. (By that I mean you shouldn't pick points that aren't obvious unless you have to.)
For instance, I see the points (-2,0) and (3,4) to be clear; so we don't have to approximate anything.
You could plug these in in a any order but I'm going to let Point 1=(-2,0) and Point 2=(3,4). So:
m=(4-0)/(3--2)=(4/5)
Slope=4/5
Let
x = loaves of bread
y = batches of muffins
You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
Resolving we have
x = 6-y (from (2))
replacing in (1)
3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
y = 21-17 = 4
Then substituting in (2)
x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2
