Answer:

x = 26; l = 137; m = 137

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines are parallel, that means the measurements are too. As such, equal the two expressions together

5x + 7 = 8x - 71

add 71 to both sides

5x + 7 + 71 = 8x - 71 + 71

-71 and +71 cancel each other out

5x + 78 = 8x

subtract 5x from both sides

5x - 5x + 78 = 8x - 5x

5x - 5x cancels each other out

78 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

3x ÷ 3 = 1x which can also be written as just x

78 ÷ 3 = x

26 = x

plug in this x value into both expressions to find variables l and m

l:

5(26) + 7

130 + 7

137

m:

8(26) - 71

208 - 71

137

The correct question is
<span>To fit between two Windows the width of a bookshelf must be no greater that 6 1/2 feet. Mrs. Aguilar purchases a bookshelf that is 77 inches wide. Which statement describes the relationship between the width of the book shelf and the distance between the Windows

we know that

step 1
convert feet to inches
1 ft--------> is equal to 12 in
so
6.5 ft------> 6.5*12-----> 78 in

78 in > 77 in------> </span>The bookshelf will fit between the windows<span>

difference=[78-77]----> 1 in

therefore

the answer is
</span>The bookshelf will fit between the windows with 1 inch remaining.<span>
