Answer:
1. 9 = x
2. y = 2
Just copy these steps on paper, then submit.
Writing it yourself will help you, trust me :)
1. 2(x + 5) = 3x + 1
2(x + 5) = 3x + 1
Distribute the 2
2x + 10 = 3x + 1
-1 -1
2x + 9 = 3x
-2x -2x
9 = x
2. 3y - 4 = 6 - 2y
3y - 4 = 6 - 2y
+4 +4
3y = 10 - 2y
+2y +2y
5y = 10
Divide both sides by 5
y = 10/5
y = 2
Answer:
Length = 3
Width = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is 20 feet
The area is 21 feet
Let x represent the length
Let y represent the width
20 = 2(x+y)
x+y= 20/2
x+y = 10.........equation 1
x × y= 21......equation 2
From equation 1
x= 10-y
Substitute 10-y for x in equation 2
(10-y)y= 21
10y - y^2 = 21
y^2 -10y + 21= 0
After factorization the result will be
(x-3)(y-7)
x-3= 0
x= 0+3
x= 3
y-7= 0
y= 0+7
y= 7
Hence the length is 3 and the width is 7
