Answer:
y =14
11x = 11*3.5 =38.5
3x+2y = 11x = 38.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all three sides
3x+2y + 11x+y = 91
Combine like terms
14x +3y = 91
The lines mean the sides are equal
3x+2y = 11x
Simplify
Subtract 3x from each side
3x-3x+2y = 11x-3x
2y = 8x
Divide by 2
2y/2 = 8x/2
y = 4x
Substitute 4x in the first equation every time you see y
14x +3y = 91
14x +3(4x) = 91
14x+12x=91
26x = 91
Divide by 26
26x/26 =91/26
x = 3.5
Now we can find y
y = 4x
y = 4(3.5)
y = 14
We know x and y we can find the length of each of the sides
y =14
11x = 11*3.5 =38.5
3x+2y = 11x = 38.5
Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.
<span>If they join to work together they can complete the job in 3 hours. </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x - 8) = 1/3 </span>
<span>3(x - 8) + 3x = x(x - 8) </span>
<span>x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0 </span>
<span>(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0 </span>
<span>Solutions: </span>
<span>x = 2 </span>
<span>x = 12 </span>
<span>Jimmy can complete the job on his own in 12 hours.</span>
Answer: The answer would be y=1/3x-3
Answer: X=0.28571428571
Step-by-step explanation:
-10x divide by 10 =x , -10 divide by 35=0.28571428571
