Answer:
x = 3 and y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are :
6x + 14y = 32 ...(1)
6x - 14y = 4 .....(2)
Add equation (1) and (2) :
6x + 14y + 6x - 14y = 32 + 4
12x = 36
x = 3
Put the value of x in equation (1)
6(3) + 14y = 32
18 + 14y = 32
14y = 32-18
14y = 14
y = 1
Hence, the value of x is 3 and y is 1.
Reducing the fractions, it is also true that:
Part A = 5/14 of the whole
Part B = 9/14 of the whole

I'm going to convert 12.5% to a fraction, which is 12 1/2. Find the denominator for 1/3 and 1/2 which is 6. 1/3 x 2 = 2/6 and 1/2 x 3 = 3/6. Add them all together. 12 3/6 + 2/6 + 7 = around 19.8 ~ 20 acres
