Answer:
x=50/3y
y=50/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
They need to have common denomenators so change the fractions to 12/15 - 5/15 which is 7/15.
Statistics is not an exact science, meaning that with any answer, there will be variance. This is because the sample size used to obtain values is always smaller than the population being studied.
3 feet 8 inches converted to inches is 3x12+8=44inches
44inches times 4 pieces is 176 inches.
176 inches converted back to feet and inches is 176/12=14 feet 8 inches so he would need 15 feet of board
39-(15z+48)/27=35
39-35=(15z+48)/27
4=(15z+48)/27
108=15z+48
108-48=15z
60=15z
z=60/15
z=4
