Question 1

Answer 1

Answer:

a. -3x = -2y

When x=6, y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

From the hanger, There are two sides

If x=triangle and y=square

First side has 1 triangle and 3 squares

It can be represented by

x+3y

Second side has 4 triangles and 1 square

It can be represented by

4x+y

Equate the first and second side

x+3y=4x+y

Collect like terms

x+3y-4x-y=0

-3x+2y=0

-3x=-2y

Find y when x=6

-3(6)=-2y

-18=-2y

Divide both sides by -2

-18/-2=-2y/-2

9=y

y=9
