The sum of the two bases is twice the length of the mid segment
24+x=19*2
x=14
The 3 would be the y, so it would be 4x-3y
Answer:
Job A, will take 24 hours and Job B, will take 30 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
12 X 30 = 360 and 15 X 24 = 360
Use substitution
-x + 4 = 1/3x + 8
4 = 4/3x + 8
-4 = 4/3x
x = -4 * 3/4
x = -3
Then plug x into one of the original equations. In this case y = -x + 4 is the easiest.
y = -(-3) + 4
y = 7
