Answer:

(x, y) = (5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

LP = x

MP = 2y+3

NP = y+3

KP = 3x -8

KP = MP, LP = NP

Find:

x, y

Solution:

The given relations between the segment lengths let us write two equations:

KP = MP

3x -8 = 2y +3 ⇒ 3x -2y -11 = 0 [eq1]

LP = NP

x = y +3 ⇒ x -y -3 = 0 [eq2]

Subtracting 3 times [eq2] from [eq1] gives ...

(3x -2y -11) -3(x -y -3) = 0

y -2 = 0 . . . . . . . . simplify

y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . add 2

Substituting this value into [eq2] gives ...

x = 2 + 3 = 5

The values of x and y are ...

x = 5, y = 2

Answer:

B. 2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the two perimeters together to form a fraction.

192/48, which can simplify to 4/1

Now, following the order in which you put the perimeters (I used C/D,) set it equal to the sides.

$\frac{4}{1} = \frac{8}{x}$

Now, cross multiply. (multiply 1 and 8, 4 and x.)

$4x = 8$

Now, solve.

x=2 inches.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is City D.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you say the phrase, "closer to sea level" you mean the closest to the very top of the sea, like "0" on a number line.

This means, that whether it is to the left of the right of the number line (or above or below the sea) whichever one has the lowest absolute value is the closest.

Therefore, the correct answer is City D.

Hope this helps! :D
