Hi!

Your answer is x^2+x+6

We are asked to find the floor space it covers, which we can solve for by finding the area of the rectangular rug, given its dimensions.

<u>Dimensions:</u>

(x - 2) x (x + 3)

<u>Area of a rectangle:</u>

Length x Width = Area

Plug dimensions into the formula:

(x - 2)(x +3)

Use the Distributive Property and FOIL method to solve <em>(if you are not familiar with the FOIL method, see the image attached below)</em>:

x^2+3x-2x-6

Combine like terms:

x^2+x-6

<em>Now, this isn't a numerical value, but as we do not know the value of x, this is the simplest answer we can get.</em>

First no. = x 
Second no. = y

Equation Formation
x + y = 6..........equation(i)
x - y = 10...........equation (ii)


x = 6 - y
6 - y - y = 10
6 - 2 y = 10
-2 y = 10 -6
-2 y = 4
   y = -2

x = 6 + 2
x = 8

Answer = 8 , -2

How do I solve this problem using the substitution method <br> x-3y=4<br> 4x-2y=26
Nastasia [14]
Top 1. Substitute 3y on both sides of the equation.
Bottom 2. Substitute 2y on both sides of the equation

3y and 2y cancel

Divide x by 4 and 26 by 4.

Is there die points on a graph or decimal?

I have not done this for years but there is many calculators that can show you step by step online. I recommend using these
