This question is funny because the total he has to walk from school back home is 12 MILES. The question tries to confuse you by using the term “two-thirds”. Here is my point: He only had to walk a total of twelve miles. Why would the answer be 16, 18, and 24 miles when he only has to walk 12??? This is just common sense and I wouldn’t overthink the question. I hope I helped! Glad I caught this. Have a great night.

There are two triangles that are 15cm in height and 10cm in width so you do 15 times 10 which is 150 then divided it by 2 because it a triangle to get 75 then because there is 2 you then multiply it by 2 again and you get 150

This is system of Equations. 
<span>2x + 3y =10
x + y = 3 
</span>
x + y = 3 (multiply this by three) to get 3x + 3y = 9
2x + 3y =10
3x + 3y = 9 Subtract them

-1x = 1 
x=-1 
Now plug x back into the top equation and solve for y. 

I hope this helps! If not, let me know! Have a fantastical day!
