If y and x varies directly we can use a rule of 3 to find the missing x so:
and the equation will be:
Another way to do it is
2x-y=17
x-y=10, x=10+y
substitute x=10+y for x in 2x-y=17 and get
2(10+y)-y=17
20+2y-y=17
20+y=17
subtract 20 from both sides
y=-3
subsitute y=-3 into equation x-y=10
x-(-3)=10
x+3=10
subtract 3 from both sides
x=7
or subsitute into 2x-y=17
2x-(-3)=17
2x+3=17
subtract 3 from both sides
2x=14
divide both sides by two
x=7

Step-by-step explanation:
the perimeter =
4+4+6+4.5+2+4+4+2 =
30.5 cm
the area of:
• the bigger rectangle = 6×4 = 24 cm²
• the smaller triangle = 4×2 = 8cm²
• the triangle = ½×2×4 = 4cm²
the total area = 24+8+4 = 36cm²
