Answer:
Hence x = -1 and y = 18
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equations
y + 8x = 10... 1
2y - 4x = 40 ... 2
From 1; y = 10-8x
Substitute into 2;
2(10-8x) - 4x = 40
20 - 16x - 4x = 40
20 - 20x = 40
-20x = 40 - 20
-20x = 20
x = -1
Recall that y = 10-8x
y = 10 - 8(-1)
y = 10 + 8
y = 18
Hence x = -1 and y = 18

The answer is 3 because the length of the box is 10, the width is 5, and the height is 3.
Sqrt(x+4-3)=1
sqrt (x+1) = 1
x+1 = 1^2
x=1-1
x=0
This is how you would get x=0
Hope I helped :)
