Answer:
x=10, y=25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, in a trapezoid, the two angles on the same leg (the legs are the opposite sides that are not parallel) add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, 4y as well as (2y+3x) are supplementary. We can write this out as
4y + (2y+3x) = 180
6y+3x = 180
Next, the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, as the angles 2y, 4y, and (5x-20) make up a triangle, they add up to 180 degrees. We can write this as
4y + 2y + (5x-20) = 180
6y + 5x -20 =180
Our two equations are thus
6y + 5x - 20 = 180
6y + 3x = 180
If we subtract 6y from both sides in each equation, we can say
5x - 20 = 180-6y
3x = 180-6y
Therefore, we can write
5x-20 = 180-5y = 3x
5x-20=3x
subtract 3x from both sides to make all x variables on the same side
2x-20 = 0
add 20 to both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient
2x = 20
divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
x = 10
Therefore,
x = 10
6y + 3x = 180
6y + 30 = 180
subtract 30 from both sides to isolate the y and its coefficient
6y = 150
y = 25
1800/3 = 600
Every pound covers 600 square feet
8400/600 = 14
<span>14/4 = 3.5 (round up) so it would become 4.

You would need 4 bags.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
- A. Slope = -2, y-intercept = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form:</u>
- 3(y - 2) + 6(x + 1) - 2 = 0
- 3y - 6 + 6x + 6 - 2 = 0
- 3y + 6x - 2 = 0
- 3y = - 6x + 2
- y = - 2x + 2/3
The slope is -2, the y-intercept is 2/3
Correct choice is A
