X + 3 = 9-4
First simplify the right side.
9-4 = 5
Now you have x + 3 = 5
Now subtract 3 from both sides:
X = 2
Answer: x = 2
Each with 220 sides,meaning 440 edges on the end
2x + 5y = -3 ⇒ 2x + 5y = -3
1x + 8y = 4 ⇒ <u>2x + 16y = 8
</u> -<u>11y</u> = <u>-11 </u>
-11 -11
y = 1
2x + 5(1) = -3
2x + 5 = -3
<u> -5 -5</u>
<u>2x</u> = <u>-8</u>
2 2
x = -4
(x, y) = (-4, 1)
2x + 1y = 7 ⇒ 2x + 1y = 7
1x - 2y = -14 ⇒ <u>2x - 4y = -28</u>
<u>5y</u> = <u>35</u>
5 5
y = 7
2x + 7 = 7
<u> -7 -7</u>
<u>2x</u> = <u>0</u>
2 2
x = 0
(x, y) = (0, 7)
Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span>

<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>

.
From the above equation we get

.
then

Solving the above equation for y we get:

So
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.
3 1/2 cm or 3.5 cm. Because you should divide 280 by 80 which equals 3.5. turn 3.5 to centimeters. Thats your answer.
