Answer:

x = -6

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 3

x + y = 3

twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number

2y = 3x + 36

Divide both sides by 2

y = 1.5x + 18

substitute for y in the first equation

x + (1.5x + 18) = 3

2.5x = -15

divide both sides by 2.5

x = -6

Substitute for x in the first equation

-6 + y = 3

y = 9

AVprozaik [17]

The answer is 120 sections.

Here's an explanation:

The rope is 105 feet long, and each section needs to be 7/8 feet. So to find the number of sections, you need to divide 105 by 7/8. 105 divided by 7/8 gives you the quotient 120. So there are 120 sections.
