I am not positive for the factoring of each expression but for the distributive property you do 8 TIMES x then 8 times 7 so you would get blank plus blank and so on for the next ones.
I decided to do a addition problem because based on the answer it couldn't be multiplication, subtraction, or division. Therefore, my problem would look like 15+9=24 birds in total.
Answer:
x= -8 , y = 5
x= 25/4 , y = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute first eqn into the second eqn:
(7 - 3y)^2 -y^2 = 39
49 - 42y + 9y^2 - y^2 = 39
8y^2 - 42y +10 =0
4y^2 - 21y + 5 = 0
(4y-1) (y-5) = 0
y= 1/4 , 5
when y=1/4
x = 7- 3/4
=25/4
when y= 5
x = 7- 15
= -8
For the trapezoid, the equation used to solve for the area is,
A = (0.5)(b₁ + b₂)(h)
where b₁ and b₂ are the measure of the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values above,
1224 = (0.5)(70.5 + 65.5)(h)
h = 18
Thus, the height of the counter top is 18 inches.
