Answer:

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t= length of the top shelf, m = length of middle shelf and b = length of bottom shelf.

Therefore:

t = m - 1/2; m = t  + 1/2

Also, b = 2t - 1/2

The total of the three shelves is 20 feet, therefore:

t + m + b = 20

Substituting:

t + t + 1/2 + 2t - 1/2 = 20

4t = 20

t = 20/4

t = 5 feet

m = t + 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 5.5 feet

b = 2t - 1/2 = 2(5) - 1/2 = 9.5 feet

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Three ordered pairs that solve the equation x - 4 Y equals -18
lawyer [7]
X-4y=-18
an easy way is to solve for oone variable
solve for x
add 4y both sides
x=4y-18

when y=1, x=-16
when y=0, x=-18
when y=2, x=-10

(x,y)
so some orderd pairs are
(-16,1)
(-18,0)
(-10,2)
