A = (1/2)(x)(y)
Let x = diagonal 1
Let y = diagonal 2
The product of xy = 144.
This means that x = 12 and y = 12.
So, 12 • 12 = 144
Each diagonal is 12 feet.
Prove:
72 feet = (1/2)(12)(12) feet
72 feet = (1/2)(144) feet
72 feet = 72 feet
Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking equation (1)
Multiplying both sides by 2
Adding 6y to both sides
Putting this in (2)
5(18+6y) + y = 28
5(18+6y) + y = 28
90 + 30y+y = 28
31y+90-28 = 0
31 y + 62 = 0
31y = -62
Dividing both sides by 31
y = -2
Now,
x = 18 + 6y
x = 18+6(-2)
x = 18-12
x = 6
