Answer:
The answer is 743.4 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
1. find the length- 2 x 40=80 cm
2. find the width- 1.5 x 40= 60cm
3. find area (Length x width)- 80 x 60= 4800 square cm
4. find length but in inches- 1in=2.54cm length=80/2.54 = 31.5 inches
5. find width but in inches- width= 60/2.54= 23.6 inches
6. Find area(length x width)- 31.5 x 23.6= 743.4 square inches
Since you need an isolated variable to use the substitution method, we need to re-arrange one of the equations. This will probably be easiest to do with the first one.
Add 5y to both sides of the first equation.
x=10+5y
Now, in the second equation, put in 10+5y in any spot that has an x.
2(10+5y)-10y=20
Distribute the 2 to both numbers in the parenthesis.
20+10y-10y=20
Combine like terms.
20=20
This means that the two equations are actually the same. You can see this if you multiply the whole first equation by 2
2(x-5y=10)
2x-10y=20, which is the same as the second equation. Therefore, the two equations are actually the same one.
I’m going to assume you know slope-intercept form. The work will be displayed below on my magnificent, college-ruled paper.
I think the number is 81 but I am not sure hoped that helped sorry that I am not completely positive ):
distribute the -3 to the -4y and the 3 making the question 12y-9+7y then add common factors to get 19y-9
