Answer:

x = 6 ; y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

8 x + 2 y = 30  ..........equ No 1

7 x + 2 y = 24......... equ No 2

8 x = 30 - 2y

∴ x =\frac{ 30 - 2 y}{8}

substituting the value of x in equ No 2

7 \frac{30 - 2 y}{8} + 2 y = 24

7 ( 30 -2 y) + 2 y × 8 = 24 × 8

7 × 30 - 14 y + 16 y = 192

210 + 2 y = 192

2 y = 192 - 210

2 y = - 18

∴ y = - 9

put y = -9 , 8 x = 30 - 2 y

        8 x = 30 - 2 ( -9)

    8 x = 30 - ( -18)

  8 x = 48

∴ x = 6

x = 6 ; y = -9

A rug is to be centered in a room so that the border around it is of a consistent width on all four sides. If the room is 10 ft
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x

Length of room = 10 feet

Breadth of room = 15 feet

Length of rug = 10-2x

Breadth of rug = 15-2x

Area of rug = (10-2x)(15-2x)  

We are given that the area of the rug is 24 square feet.

So,  (10-2x)(15-2x)=24 ---A

150-20x-30x+4x^2=24

150-24-50x+4x^2=0

126-50x+4x^2=0

2(x-9)(2x-7)=0

x=9,\frac{7}{2}

x=9,3.5

Substitute x =9 in A

(10-2(9))(15-2(9))=24

24=24

LHS = RHS

Substitute x = 3.5

(10-2(3.5))(15-2(3.5))=24

24=24

LHS = RHS

So, The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.
