Answer:
DE = 15
DF = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
E___D___F
EF = DE + DF
38 = (3x +9) + (12x-1)
38 = 15x + 8
15x = 38 - 8
15x = 30
x = 30/15
x = 2
DE = 3x + 9 = 3(2) + 9 = 6 + 9 = 15
DF = 12x - 1 = 12(2) - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23
I hope I helped you^_^
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5y=12
3x+4y=11
---------------
3(2x+5y)=3(12)
-2(3x+4y)=-2(11)
-----------------------
6x+15y=36
-6x-8y=-22
-----------------
7y=14
y=14/7=2
2x+5(2)=12
2x+10=12
2x=12-10=2
x=2/2=1
x=1, y=2. (1, 2)

I just provided you an example of a system of equations and I already solved it for you.
A. X+Y=50 y=x+20
B. 50-x=x+20 x=15 minutes
C. No, We know however much time Ted spends on the butterfly he spends 20 mins more on breast stroke. If he spends 45 mins on butterfly then he must spend 45+20= 65 mins on breast stroke. BUT we already know that he only spends 50 mins total, so it’s not possible
