Answer:
10 5/6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Tail= 1.5+2Kite
Kite+Tail=15.5
x+1.5+2x=15.5
3x=15.5-1.5
3x=14
x=14/3=4 2/3
Kite=4 2/3
Tail= 1.5+2(4 2/3)=10 5/6
We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:
15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x
15,5 = 3x + 1,5 / - 1,5 (both sides)
14 = 3x / : 3 (both sides)
x ≈ 4,66
The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.
that does not make sense ?????????????????????????????????????????
1) -4x-6x+8x=2-6
-2x=-4
x=-2
2)3x-4x=12-15
-1x=-3
x=3
3) 12.5x+10.25=680-410
22.75x=270
x=11.86
6 x 2 + 4 x 3 = 12 + 12 = 24
10.2
