We are given the bounds of x so after calculation
144 is the answer
The solution (x,y) needs to work in both equations. With multiple choice you can do guess and test method. Otherwise you need to combine the two equations into one by substitution or elimination methods.
21. substitution works well here since one equation is y= x+3. you can easily substitute the (x+3) for y in the other equation.
2x + (x+3) = -6
3x + 3 = -6
3x = -9
x = -3
use this in either equation to find y.
y = (-3)+3
solution: (-3,0)
22. these both equal y so they equal each other.
4x - 1 = 3x +6
4x - 3x = 6 + 1
x = 7
use this in either equation to find y
y = 4(7) - 1
y = 28 - 1
y = 27
solution: (7,27)
23. one equation is y = 2x - 3. So substitute (2x -3) for y in the other equation.
4x = 2(2x - 3) + 6
4x = 4x - 6 + 6
4x = 4x
x = x
any solution will work, infinitely many.
24. infinitely many solutions means the two equations are the same equation. Like the previous one they didn't look the same but if you put them both in terms of y...
y= 2x-3
4x = 2y + 6
4x - 6 = 2y
(4x - 6)/2 = y
2x - 3 = y
same equation.
from the image, I can't see all options but A & C do not look like the same equations. It's got to be either B or D.
So perimeter<u><</u>556
permiter=2Legnth+2Width
so perimiter=2(legnth+width)
556/2<u>></u>Legnth+width
228<u>></u>legnth +width
legnth =150
so 228<u>></u>150+width
subtract 150 from both sides
78<u>></u>width
width cand be 78 or less but not 0 or negative
anoth way to do it is 556<u>></u>2(150)+2width
556<u>></u>300+2width
subtract 300 from both sides
256<u>></u>2width
divide both sides by 2
78<u>></u>width
