Question

The flags are all the same size and are space equally along the line. Calculate the length of the sides of each flag, and the space between flags by making a system of equations and solving that system..

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the space between flags be "x" and the flag's side is "y"

2x + 3y = 80   ║ × ( - 2 )

5x + 6y = 170

- 4x - 6y = - 160 ..... ( 1 )

5x + 6y = 170 ..... ( 2 )

( 1 ) + ( 2 )

x = 10

2(10) + 3y = 80

y = 20

The space between flags is 10 cm

The flag's sides are the same size and is 20 cm
