Answer:
x=6/7 and y=18/7
Step-by-step explanation:
If y = 3x and 2x + 4y = 12,
then substitute the value of y with 3x
2x + 4(3x) = 12
2x+12x=12
14x=12
x=12/14=6/7
y=3x=3*(6/7)=18/7
To find the second owl's wingspan, we need to subtract 1/2 from 3/4.
First, we'll need to find the common denominator:
1/2 = 2/4
Then, we can subtract.
3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4
With this, we now know that 1/4 is the answer.

Since it is given that 4/5 mile is equal to 1/2 inch, what we will be looking for how many inches will there be for 1 mile. 5/5 mile = 1 mile.
This is how it would look like.
1/2 inch.... x inch
----- = -----
..4/5 mile ...... 1 mile
Next, we cross multiply:
(1/2)1 = (4/5)x
Then divide both sides by 4/5. so we get
x = 0.025 inch
and that is 1/40 inch. Therefore, 1 mile is 1/40 inch. Hope this helps.
