So x + y = 45, and 4x + 5y = 195. Get y by itself. Subtract x from both sides in the first equation to get y = 45 -x, and subtract 4x from the second equation to get 5y = 195 - 4x. Divide by 5 to both sides to get y = 39 - 4/5x. 39 - 4/5x = 45 - x. Add x to both sides to get 39 - 1/5x = 45. Subtract 39 from both sides to get -1/5x = 6. Divide by -1/5 to get x = -30, or 30. In the first equation, do 30 + y = 45. Subtract 30 from both sides to get y = 15. Check. 4(30) + 15(5) = 195, or 120 + 75 = 195.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets calculate the fence first!
15*12=180
Mario needs to paint 180 ft^2
Turn this into a linear equation
250x=180
Divide by 250 on both sides:
x=0.72
So, Mario needs 0.72 Gal of paint to paint the fence!

My best guess is add all of the numbers together then divide by 6 then check your choices to see if your response matches
