<h3>Answer:</h3>

- AABD = 8 in²
- AABC = 14 in²
A diagram can be helpful.
When triangles have the same altitude, their areas are proportional to their base lengths.
The altitude from D to line BC is the same for triangles BDC and EDC. The base lengths of these triangles have the ratio ...
... BC : EC = (1+5) : 5 = 6 : 5
so ABDC will be 6/5 times AEDC.
... ABDC = (6/5)×(5 in²)
... ABDC = 6 in²
_____
The altitude from B to line AC is the same for triangles BDC and BDA, so their areas are proportional to their base lengths. That is ...
... AABD : ABDC = AD : DC = 4 : 3
so AABD will be 4/3 times ABDC.
... AABD = (4/3)×(6 in²)
... AABD = 8 in²
_____
Of course, AABC is the sum of the areas of the triangles that make it up:
... AABC = AABD + ABDC = 8 in² + 6 in²
... AABC = 14 in²

Answer:
a. x + 4y = 160
b. 160
c. 40
Step-by-step explanation:
a. We can define the variables as ...
x = number of 1/2-liter bottles
y = number of 2-liter bottles
For the total number of liters to be 80, we require
1/2x + 2y = 80
We can multiply this by 2 to eliminate the fraction.
x + 4y = 160
__
b. The x-intercept is 160. It is the number of 1/2-liter bottles required when no 2-liter bottles are used.
__
c. The y-intercept is 40. It is the number of 2-liter bottles required when no 1/2-liter bottles are used.
