Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the complete question attached in figure.

Consider

Hadley = x

Parker = y

Greenville = z

Distance between Greenville and Parker = yz = 29

Given that distance between Hadley and Greenville is 13 miles less than the distance between Parker and Greenville.

xz = yz -13 --- (1)

Distance between hardley and greenville = xz = ?

From (1)

xz = 29 -13

xz = 16 miles

So Alan is right that distance between Hadley and Greenville is 16 miles

Lets say the angle is a and its supplementary is b:
since a+b=180 and a=19*b,
<span>a+19a=180
20a=180
a=180/20
a=9
19a=171</span>

Let L and S represent the weights of large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to two equations:
.. 7L +9S = 273
.. 5L +3S = 141

You can solve these equations various ways. Using "elimination", we can multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract the first equation.
.. 3(5L +3S) -(7L +9S) = 3(141) -(273)
.. 8L = 150
.. L = 150/8 = 18.75
Then we can substitute into either equation to find S. Let's use the second one.
.. 5*18.75 +3S = 141
.. S = (141 -93.75)/3 = 15.75

A large box weighs 18.75 kg; a small box weighs 15.75 kg.
