-15x -8y=-27 Thas the answer
1) 475
2)375
You need to multiply 25 by 27 and you get 675 then to get answer one you need to multiply 10 by 20 to get 200 the take 200 away from 675 to get 475 then do the same thing with the second problem 20x15 which is 300 the take 300 away from 675.
Pytagorean theorem
height10
attached at 10-4=6 yards from bottom
8 yards from base to away
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are side legnths and c=hypotonuse
so therfore we are given a and b and we must solve for c
so
6=height
8=base
6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2
square root
10=c
so therfor the legnth of each cable is 10 yards
3 cables so 3 times 10=30
30 yards needed
