Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 1 → (1)

ax - by = c → (2)

In (1) subtract y from both sides

x = 1 - y → (3)

Substitute x = 1 - y into (2)

a(1 - y) - by = c ← distribute left side

a - ay - by = c ( subtract a from both sides )

- ay - by = c - a ( multiply through by - 1 )

ay + by = a - c ← factor out y from each term on the left side

y(a + b) = a - c ← divide both sides by (a + b)

y = \frac{a-c}{a+b} ← substitute into (3)

x = 1 - \frac{a-c}{a+b} = \frac{a+b}{a+b} - \frac{a-c}{a+b} = \frac{a+b-a+c}{a+b} = \frac{b+c}{a+b}

Dot got a 75% on her test. She missed 12 questions. how many questions were on the test
AleksAgata [21]
Well, if it was out of 50, it would be 76%.

So the answer might be 50 questions total, but maybe there was 49 questions total.

I would probably go with 50 questions total.

What is the area of the trapezoid?
kykrilka [37]
To find the area of the trapezoid you add the two bases then multiply by the base and divide by 2. 

B1+b2= 24+16=40
40*h=40*12=480
480/2=240

D. 240 square feet.
