Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
we know that
The area of Tracy's backyard is 
Convert to an improper fraction

step 2
To find the area of the garden, multiply the area of the backyard by 1/3
so

Y=3x-10 and 3x+2y=16
y=3x-10
subsitute 3x-10 for y in other equation
3x+2y=16
3x+2(3x-10)=16
distribute
3x+6x-20=16
9x-20=16
add 20 both sides
9x=36
divide both sides by 9
x=4
sub back
y=3x-10
y=3(4)-10
y=12-10
y=2
x=4
y=2
(4,2) is soluiton
Most likely you are expected to recognize that side lengths 2, 3, 5 will result in a "triangle" of zero area (looks like a line segment).
The appropriate choice is
(5, 3, 2)
_____
Some authors write the triangle inequality as a + b ≥ c for any assignment of a, b, c to side lengths. The "or equal to ..." allows the triangle to have zero area (looks like a line segment). Other authors insist the inequality not include the "or equal to" case. It looks like your text's author is in the latter camp.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
10 pens - 2 pens = 8 pens
Write 8 of 10 as a fraction.
You get
, right?
Now, simplify 8/10.
You get 4/5.
The answer is 18 beacause 6+6+2+4=18
