Answer:

x = 4

y = 6

z = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

bags of pecans = x

bags of walnuts = y

bags of almonds = z

x + y + z = 15

3x + 3.5y + 4z = 53

Two more bags of walnuts were sold than pecans.

Walnuts = x + 2

x + y + z = 15

3x + 3.5y + 4z = 53

x + x + 2 + z = 15

3x + 3.5(x+2) + 4z = 53

2x + z = 15 - 2

3x + 3.5x + 7 + 4z = 53

2x + z = 13 (1)

6.5x + 4z = 46 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

8x + 4z = 52 (3)

6.5x + 4z = 46 (2)

Subtract (2) from (3)

8x - 6.5x = 52 - 46

1.5x = 6

Divide both sides by 1.5

x = 4 bags

y = x + 2

= 4 + 2

= 6

y = 6 bags

Substitute the value of x into (1)

2x + z = 13 (1)

2(4) + z = 13

8 + z = 13

z = 13 - 8

= 5

z = 5 bags

Check:

x + y + z = 15

4 + 6 + 5 = 15

masha68 [24]
If the shape of the room is a square, then the square root of the sum of the squares of the the two adjacent sides will give the diagonal.

i.e.

\sqrt{17^2+17^2} = \sqrt{2(17^2)}  \\  \\ = \sqrt{2(289)} = \sqrt{578} =24.04

Since the square root of the sum of the squares of the the two adjacent sides is 24.04 and not 18.79, therefore, the shape of the room is not a square.
