Answer:

x = 105

y = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, try writing it out as an equation/expression first.

When you do, you should get something like this:

2x + 2y = 310

x - y = 55

This is a system of equations. To solve this, we're going to multiply the second equation [x - y = 55] by 2.

2(x - y = 55) = 2x - 2y = 110

Now, subtract your new equation from the first one [2x + 2y = 310]

2x + 2y = 310

-2x + 2y = -110

//<em>If you</em>'<em>re wondering why I changed the signs of the new equation, I multiplied our new equation [2x - 2y = 110] by -1 since we're subtracting//</em>

When you're done subtracting, the "2x" and "-2x" cancel out, so you're left with:

4y = 200

Now, simply solve for "y" by dividing both sides by 4.

4y = 200

y = 50

Now that we know y's value, substitute it into one of our original equations to solve for x.

//<em>I'm gonna plug y into the second equation [x - y = 55] just because it's easier, but you can plug it into the first one as well and get the same answer//</em>

When we plug it in, we get:

x - (50) = 55

To solve for "x," we must get rid of "-50." To do this, add 50 to both sides.

x - 50 = 55

x = 105

<u>So, x = 105 and y = 50</u>

What is the area of the polygon shown below? (in the image). A. 322 mm^2 B. 364 mm^2 C. 520 mm^2 D. 584 mm^2 Show all work pleas
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

A. 322 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is 14 times 20

14 x 20 = 280

The area of the rectangle is 1/2 times 14 times 6

1/2(14)(6)=42

Finally add 280 and 42 and the answer is 322

A ribbon is 4 m long. How many pieces each 30 cm long can be cut from the ribbon?​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

13 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

First we convert 4m into cm :

1m = 100cm

4m = 400cm

Now we need to figure out how many 30s go into 400 :

400 ÷ 30 = 13 remainder 10

So 13 pieces can be cut from the ribbon

Hope this helped and have a good day
