It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..
a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2
2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together
a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13
Which gives;
2a = 90
Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45
3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.
a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32
4.Solution
a=45
b=32
The correct answer is A :)
Answer:
about 15.328 yrds
Step-by-step explanation:
two sides are 5 yrds, so 5+5= 10yrds. two sides are 8 ft, 8+8=16 ft. there are .3333 yrds in 1 foot so 16*.3333 = about 5.328yrds
10+5.328 = 15.328
