This gives you, 4x + 5y = -25 as your final answer.
Each strip is 29 cm
------------------------------------------------------
Change the m to cm
------------------------------------------------------
6 m = 600 cm
------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of strips for 1 6m-board
------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of strips that can be cut from the 6m board.
600 ÷ 29 = 20 pieces remainder 20cm
So we can only cut 20 pieces of 29 strips from one 6m board.
------------------------------------------------------
Find number of boards needed
------------------------------------------------------
70 ÷ 20 = 3.5
We need 3.5 of the 6m boards.
Since she can't have half a board, she has to buy 4 pieces of the board.
------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 4 pieces of the 6m board.

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to do this is to add the new members to the old and then divide by 11. Ignore the remainder.
13 + 52 = 65
65 / 11 = 5 with 10 left over. Ignore the 10. That's not a complete team.
The answer is 5
