<h2>Answer: (5, 2)</h2>

<h2>System of equations:</h2>

2x - y = 8

3x + y = 17

<h2>Solve for x:</h2>

2x - y = 8

3x + y = 17

________ +

5x = 25

x = 5

<h2>Plug in x to one of the equations to solve for Y</h2>

2(5) - y = 8

10 - y = 8

-y = -2

y = 2

Your proportion should look something like this

$\frac{x}{6} = \frac{6}{4}$

After cross multiplication, you should end up with this equation

$4x=36$

After dividing 4 on both sides, you should get that x=9

The length of a rectangle is 3 ft less than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 14 ft2 . find the dimensions of th

omeli [17]

Given: A= 14 ft² and l= 2w-3
formula for area of a rectangle is A=lw
substitute for what you know and simplify:
14=(2w-3)w -> w= either -2 or 7/2 but because a width value can not be negative you can eliminate the -2 value. w=7/2
subsitute width into equation for length and solve
l=2w-3= 2(7/2)-3= 4
width: 3.5 ft
length: 4 ft
