Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
you would change it to 5x-4(-3x+5)=-3, because you put the info for the first equation into the second equation.
5x-4(-3x+5)=-3
5x+12x-20=-3
17x-20=-3
17x=17
x=1
Answer:
X=2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the smaller triangle's base is 1.5ft and the bigger triangle's base is 6ft then in order to find x you have to find how much bigger the big triangle is compared to the small triangle in order to do that you have to divide 6 by 1.5 (6÷1.5) which is 4 now you know that the bigger triangle is 4 times as big as the smaller triangle now to find X divide the 8 by 4 (since the 8 is on the same side as the X only the 8 is on the bigger triangle) which is 2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the rectangular piece A = xy
x is the length
y is the width
Perimeter =2x+2y
Given
Perimeter = 3044yds
3044 = 2x+2y
1522 = x+y
x = 1522-y
Substitute into the formula for area
A = xy
A = (1522-y)y
A = 1522y-y²
To maximize the area, dA/dy must be zero
dA/dy = 1522-2y
0 = 1522-2y
2y = 1522
y = 1522/2
y = 761
Since x+y = 1522
X+761 = 1522
X = 761
Dimension is 761yd by 761yd
Area = 761×761 = 579121yd²
X=5 because 4x5=20 and 20-4=16
