The answer is B. CD=KL, DE=LM, EF=MN, and so on
It would take Carl 3.6 minutes and it would take Thomas 1.2 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The shapes are being used instead of variables.
For problem 4; start with clue 2, then clue 3, then clue 4, and lastly do clue 4.
<u>Clue 2</u>
3 · square - 8 = 19
3 · square = 27 <em>added 8 to both sides</em>
square = 9 <em>divided both sides by 3</em>
<u>Clue 3</u>
2 · triangle + 3 = -3
2 · triangle = -6 <em>subtracted 3 from both sides</em>
triangle = -3 <em>divided both sides by 2</em>
<u>Clue 4</u>
square + triangle = 6
(9) + (-3) = 6 <em>substituted solutions from Clue 2 and Clue 3</em>
6 = 6 <em>True statement confirms that Clues 2 & 3 are correct</em>
<u>Clue 1</u>
star + square = 12
star + (9) = 12 <em>substituted solution from Clue 2 </em>
star = 3 <em>subtracted 9 from both sides</em>
Answer: triangle = -3, star = 3, square = 9
For problem 5; do the same thing as problem 4 and start with Clue 2
Answers: triangle = -2, star = 10, square = 8
