Answer:
d. 15 square yard
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
x=5/2 + a/2, y= 5/2 - a/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this system using addition of the equations
x+y=5
<u>x-y=a</u>
2x =(5+a)
x=(5+a)/2= 5/2 +a/2
x=5/2 +a/2
x-y=a
y = x - a , x=5/2 + a/2
y= 5/2 + a/2-a
y= 5/2 - a/2
Given:
Carol has 88cm of string and cuts it in the ratio 5 : 6.
To find:
How much longer is the longest piece compared to the shortest piece.
Solution:
Let the lengths of two pieces of string are 5x and 6x. Then,




Now, the lengths of pieces are:


And,


The difference between the longer piece and shorter piece is:

Therefore, the longer piece is 8 m longer than the shorter piece.
