Try this option:
1. the sides of the biggest triangle are 16; x and √(16²-x²); the sides of the smallest triange are x;5 and y. The smallest triangle ~ the biggest triangle. Using the property of the similar triangles:

2. according to the Pyphagorean theorem (in the smallest triangle):

answer: y=√55.
Linear combination method just means to add the equations so that one variable with cancel. In this case the a values are already set up so that they will cancel.
2a + 3b = 1
-2a + b = 11
4b = 12
b = 3
now put 3 back into either of the original equations and solve for a.
2a + 3(3) = 1
2a + 9 = 1
2a = -8
a = -4
(-4,3)
Answer: $27
Step-by-step explanation: First we would like to know how much it costs per pound of apples. To find that out simply divide 10.80 by 6 to find the price for one pound. 10.80/6 = $1.80 per pound of apples.
Now, we want to find out how much 15 pounds of apples cost. Simply multiply 1.80 x 15 to find the price of 15 pounds of apples. 1.80 x 15 = $27 for 15 pounds of apples.
