You add 6 in each side to get the 4 which means x is the equal to 4
And where is the rest of question?
Interesting question about feet and inches. The best way to solve this problem is to ask yourself how many inches are in a foot. Since there are 12 inches in every foot then the length of 2'8" can be written as (2*12)" + 8". Which is 24+8 or 32 inches. The second number (1'6") can be written as (1*12)"+6" which is 18 inches. 32 + 18 = 50 inches. Or, if you want to change this back into feet and inches just divide it by 12. 50/12 is 4 R. 2. So 4'2".
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the secants is the same when set up as full length to external length.
Formula
MN/LN = QN/PN
Givens
LN = 22 + 14 = 36
MN = 14
PN = 32
QN = x
Solution
14/36 = x / (32) Multiply both sides by 32
14*32 / 36 = x Combine 14 and 32
448/36 = x Divide by 36 and switch
x = 12.4
Answers
PN (External) = 13 is the closest answer
Length LN = 36

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.
For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...
(4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)
4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses
2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
