Answer:
WX = 33
(x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you WX is a midline, so has the measure of the average of the two bases.
WX = (PQ +SR)/2 = (27 +39)/2 = 66/2
WX = 33
__
The hash marks also tell you ...
PW = WS
y +4x = 18 . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
and also
QX = XR
2y +x = 22 . . . . . substitute the given expressions
__
If you solve the first equation for y, you get ...
y = 18 -4x
Substituting that into the second equation gives ...
2(18-4x) +x = 22
36 -7x = 22 . . . . . . . simplify
14 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . add 7x-22 to both sides
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
y = 18 -4(2) = 10 . . . find y using the above relation
The values of x and y are 2 and 10, respectively.

My favorite "quick and dirty" way to solve a set of linear equations is using a graphing calculator. It works well for integer solutions.
Answer:
On what?
Step-by-step explanation:
He earns 18% tips on his food sales. So, his tips are proportional to the amount of food he sells.
From what you know about the restaurant business, what would have to be true for his tips to be proportional to the amount of hours he works?
Do you think that situation (Michael's amount of food sales being the same every hour) is likely in a real restaurant?

Answer:
You earn more per hour and you would get $127.50
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find how much money you get per hour by dividing! 102 divided by 12 is 8.5 and 120 divided by 15 is 8 so you get more!
