Its a square pool and its perimeter is 100 yards.
We know that a square has 4 sides with the same length so we can give a square perimeter by the sum of their 4 sides
Lets call the side "l" and since we have 4 of them we need to sum it 4 times
l + l + l + l = perimeter
4l = perimeter
We know the perimeter
4l = 100
Divide both sides by 4
4l/4 = 100/4
l = 25
So the side length is equal to 25 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the y in the 1st equation with the 2nd equation.
7x + 10(2x + 9) = 36
7x + 20x + 90 = 36
27x + 90 = 36
3x + 10 = 4
3x = -6
x = -2
So now we can find y.
y = 2x + 9 = 2(-2) + 9 = (-4) + 9 = 5.
So x = -2, y = 5.
Answer:
The solution is X=10.
