Check the picture below.
we know the area is 1586, so

To solve problems like this you can either graph or solve mathematically. To do the ladder we need to solve for one variable at a time. So lets cancel one variable out.
Multiply equation 1 by 2
This will give 4x-2y=14
Now we can get rid of y by subtracting 2 from 1
This will give x=9
Plug back in to either equation, i will use equation 2
3(9)-2y=5 simplify
-2y=-22 solve
Y=11
Answer: 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Just got the wrong answer to see what it was
Okay this isn't the answer but it is how u can get your answer and explain how to justify it. which math will be how u justify it.... So basically your answer is A.... and you will add 1 1/2 + 3/4 + 1/8 =.25 which is your work they want you to show them and that is what I just showed you in a number line. I hope that's correct, but i'm pretty sure it is. Sorry that took so long i am working still on my own work and still stuck on my own lol. I am not the best with math and this kind of stuff though, but again i am almost sure this is correct
