Answer:
x = 7
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
5x = 35
x=7
14 + 2y = 6
2y = -8
y = -4

Answer:
9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
"At the same rate" means time and wages are proportional.
time/wages = t/$108 = (13 h)/$156
t = 108(13 h)/156 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . units of dollars cancel
t = 9 h
Chang would have to work 9 hours to make $108.

Answer:
16 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
When you plot the points, you see they define a trapezoid with bases of lengths 2 and 6, and a height of 4. The area formula is ...
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
A = (1/2)(2 +6)(4) = 16
The area of the trapezoid is 16 square units.
Since they are similar triangles, they are just enlarged versions of each other. This means that the left-most angle of triangle XYZ is also 35°.
Angles in a triangle add up to 180°, so we can find the missing angle by subtracting the two known angles from 180.
180 - 70 - 35 = 75
The right-most angle of triangle XYZ would be 75°.
Hope this helps!
