<em>kx</em> + <em>z</em> = 3 means <em>z</em> = 3 - <em>kx</em>. Substitute this into the first two equations:
<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> + 3 (3 - <em>kx</em>) = 10 ==> (1 - 3<em>k</em>) <em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 1
-4<em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> + 5 (3 - <em>kx</em>) = 7 ==> (-4 - 5<em>k</em>) <em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em> = -8
Multiply through the first equation by -3 :
-3 ((1 - 3<em>k</em>) <em>x</em> + <em>y</em>) = -3 (1) ==> (-3 + 9<em>k</em>) <em>x</em> - 3<em>y</em> = -3
Add this to the second equation to eliminate <em>y</em> :
((-3 + 9<em>k</em>) <em>x</em> - 3<em>y</em>) + ((-4 - 5<em>k</em>) <em>x</em> + 3<em>y</em>) = -3 + (-8)
(-7 + 4<em>k</em>) <em>x</em> = -11
Normally, you would solve for <em>x</em> by dividing both sides by -7 + 4<em>k</em>. But you can't do that if this turns out to be equal to 0, which happens for
-7 + 4<em>k</em> = 0 ==> <em>k</em> = 7/4
Area of square = 8^2 = 64
Area of circle = pi x r^2 = 3.1415 x 4^2 = 50.27
64 - 50.27 = 13.73
answer
area inside square but outside circle = 13.7 in^2 (it's C.)
