Answer:
x=1 y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
−5x+2y=9
y=7x
Substitute the second equation into the first
-5x +2(7x) = 9
Distribute
-5x +14x = 9
Combine like terms
9x=9
Divide by 9
9x/9 =9/9
x= 1
Now find y
y = 7(1)
y = 7
Let the length be x and the width be y, then
2x + 2y = 56
x + y = 28 . . . (1)
x = 4 + 3y . . . (2)
Putting (2) into (1) gives
4 + 3y + y = 28
4y = 28 - 4 = 24
y = 24/4 = 6
x = 4 + 3(6) = 4 + 18 = 22
Therefore, length is 22 inches and width is 6 inches.
