(2 x + 1):15=(x-1):7
7(2x+1)=15(x-1)
14x+7=15x-15
14x-15x=-15-7
-x=-22
x=22

Answer:
( 5, 3/2 )
x = 5
y = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 4y = 19
x + 2y = 8
-------------------
2(x + 2y = 8) = 2x + 4y = 16
----------------------
5x - 4y = 19
2x + 4y = 16
7x = 35
÷7 ÷7
x = 5
-----------------------
x + 2y = 8
5 + 2y = 8
-5 -5
2y = 3
÷2 ÷2
y = ( 3/2 )
I hope this helps!
Assume that
a and b = the two legs of the right triangle.
c = the hypotenuse.
The area of the right triangle is 750 yd², therefore
(1/2)*a*b = 750
ab = 1500 (1)
The perimeter is 150yd, therefore
a + b + c = 150 (2)
Let the side fenced with wood be a, at $5/yd. Sides b and c are fenced with steel at $10/y. The total cost is $1200, therefore
5a + 10b + 10c = 1200
or
a + 2b + 2c = 240 (3)
From (2), obtain
c = 150 - a - b (4)
Substitute (4) into (3)
a + 2b + 2(150 - a - b) = 240
-a + 300 = 240
a = 60
From (1), obtain
60b = 1500
b = 25
From (4), obtain
c = 150 - 60 - 25 = 65
Answer:
A. The length of the leg fenced with wood is 60 yd.
B. The length of the leg fenced with steel is 25 yd.
