Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 2 equations and 3 unknowns (A, x, y). You could use any value for A and it would be correct because then you could solve for the other unknowns. See picture for many exampleS.

Answer:
triangle and trapezoid
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be B
S) This is because 160 ÷ 2 = 80 and 4÷2 = 2
T) This is because 1.5x6=9 and 1.5x10= 15
Let x represent the gallons of water that is 10% salt.
Let y represent the gallons of water that is 25% salt.
Now, write the system of equations:
x + y = 10
.10x +.25y = 0.20 • 10
1) To make the system easier to solve, multiply all the terms in .10x +.25y = 0.20(10) by 100 to make them integers.
10x + 25y = 20 • 10
10x + 25y = 200
2) Solve for x.
x + y = 10
x = 10 - y
3) Substitute x with 10 - y in the other equation.
10(10 - y) + 25y = 200
100 - 10y + 25y = 200
Combine like terms.
100 + 15y = 200
Subtract 100 from both sides.
15y = 100
y = 20/3 or 6 2/3
4) Now that we have the numerical value of y, solve for the value of x by substituting once more.
a) x + y = 10
x + 20/3 = 10 or x + 6 2/3 = 10 (either equation is fine)
x = 10/3 or x = 3 1/3
The manager should combine 3 1/3 (3.33) gallons of 10% salt water and 6 2/3 (6.67) gallons of 25% salt water.
5) Always check the answers to make sure.
a) x + y = 10
3 1/3 + 6 2/3 = 10
9 3/3 = 10
10 = 10
b) .10x +.25y = 0.20 • 10
.10(3 1/3) +.25(6 2/3) = 0.20 • 10
1/3 + 5/3 = 2
6/3 = 2
2 = 2
Answer:
.........the answer is 3)
