Answer:
y = 10
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
4y - 3 = 37
4y = 37 + 3
4y = 40
y = 40 / 4
y = 10
3x - 9 = 42
3x = 42 + 9
3x = 51
x = 51 / 3
x = 17

D because it can't be unique since many triangles can share these characteristics. It can't be more than one triangle and the triangle is possible.

Answer: 17.25 dollars</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
15% of 15 = 0.15*15 = 2.25
The cost has increased by $2.25 which means the cost per kilogram is now 15+2.25 = 17.25 dollars
------------
As a slight shortcut, we can multiply the old cost (15) by the multiplier 1.15 to get the same result:
1.15*15 = 17.25
This method allows us to chain together many percentage increases, and it also allows us to include percentage decreases as well. Note how 1.15 is basically the result of 100% + 15% = 1.00+0.15 = 1.15
he bought 34 pencils which I suppose aren't already sharpened
so if he sharpens 16 of them just subtract 16 from 34 (34-16) which equals 18
so the ratio would be 16:18
but if u need to simplify it would be 8:9
