34 is your answer hope it helps
The answer to your problem is 20 inches.
2x+2y=38
y=x+3
First you would substitute the y for x+3
2x+2(x+3)=38
You would multiply the 2 by the x+3
2x+2x+6=38
Add the 2x and the 2x
4x+6=38
Subtract the 6 on both sides
4x=32
Divide the 4 on both sides
x=8
Now substitute the x in the second problum for 8
y=8+3
Add the 8 and the 3 to solve for y
y=11
Your answers
x=8
y=11
the correct answer would be A:(8,11)
Let
x--------------> the number of slices eating by Consuela and her <span>three friends
we know that
[total slices]=8*2=16 slices
</span><span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]=2
x=16-2=14 slides
</span><span>Consuela and her friends share the rest of the pizza, each eating the same number of slices---------> 14/4= 3.5 slides of pizza each (</span><span>this part is not necessary, but it is shown in a didactic way)
</span><span>
the question is
</span><span>What fraction of the 2 pizzas is left over?
</span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]/[total slices]=2/16=1/8
<span>
the answer is (1/8)
</span>
I only know this because I remember the common fractions, and 1/3 is .3333 repeating.
