Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area → area of 2 bases + area of 6 rectangles
Area of base is given
Area of rectangle → length × width

After, thorough research I believe that there are 265 pine trees and 0 elm trees since decidous and semi-decidous do not grow near conifers.
6/(x-8)=2/(x+6)
times both sides by (x-8)(x+6)
6(x+6)=2(x-8)
distribute
6x+36=2x-16
minus 2x both sides
4x+36=-16
miinus 36 both sides
4x=-52
divide both sides by 4
x=-13
If two lines are parallel to one another, then their slopes are identical. The slope in the line above is 3/4. Therefore, a line parallel to that line will also have a slope of 3/4, it will just have a different y-intercept.
