Given:
The actual length of side y is 22cm.
To find:
The length of side x by using the scale drawing.
Solution:
We know that the corresponding sides of original figure and scale drawing are proportional.
Therefore, the length of side x is about 28.286 cm.
Step 1: multiple the second equation by 2 so that you get -1/4 for the coefficient of y, the same as in equation 1
equation 2 multiply by 2: 1/4 x - 1/4 y=38 ..........name this equation 3
subtract equation 1 from equation 3: (1/4 x -1/2 x)=38-10
-1/4 x = 28
x=-112
plug in x=-112 in any of the equation, you will get y=-264
so the answer is A
Do one hundred and twenty nine divided by three and you will get your answer
