Answer:
I think it's D but I am not sure.
8x + 7y = 39
4x - 14y = -68
(multiply each term in second equation by -2)
8x + 7y = 39
-8x + 28y = 136
(add both equations)
35y = 175
(divide both sides by 35)
y = 5
(substitute value of y in one of the equations)
8x + 7(5) = 39
8x + 35 = 39
8x = 4
x = 1/2
(x, y) = (1/2, 5)

Answer:
1 < x < 29
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle inequality requires the sum of the two shortest sides exceed the longest side.
<u>When x and 14 are the shortest</u>:
x + 14 > 15
x > 1
<u>When 14 and 15 are the shortest</u>:
14 +15 > x
29 > x
Then the requirement for the length of x is ...
1 < x < 29

<em>Additional comment</em>
The length of the third side of a triangle can be between the difference and sum of the two given sides.
The second numbers in each of the ordered pairs is the range
