-x + 4 + 20x = 156
19x + 4 = 156
- 4. -4
19x = 152
19. 19
X = 8
Answer:
x = 0
y = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in what y is equal to into the second equation
-3(x - 12) = 2x + 36
Distribute the -3
-3x + 36 = 2x + 36
-36 -36
-3x = 2x
They cannot be equal so x = 0
Plug in 0 into the y equation
y = 0 - 12
y = -12
To answer this, you will represent the new side length of the square as x + 6.
To find the area you will multiply (x + 6) by (x + 6).
To do this, you will multiply x and x, x by 6 twice and 6 by 6.
See the attached picture for the expression representing the area of the new square.
