Answer:
The porch is 17 ft by 17 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a square is
P = 4s where s is the side length
P = 4( 3x+2)
P = 12x+8
We know P = 14x-2
14x-2 = 12x+8
Subtract 12x from each side
14x-2 -12x = 12x+8-12x
2x -2 = 8
Add 2 to each side
2x-2 +2 = 8+2
2x= 10
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 10/2
x = 5
The side is 3x+2
3*5+2
15+2
17
The porch is 17 ft by 17 ft
7(4 + 5) = 63
28 + 35 fits the criteria for your question.
Answer:
x=2, y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a <u>system of equations</u>.
To solve a system of equations, we use the substitution method.
We can plug in the first equation,
, into the value for <em>x</em> in the second equation. Now, the second equation looks like this:

We simplify and solve for <em>y</em>:
→ 
→ 
→ 
Now, we plug in the value for <em>y</em>, which is 3, into either equation. I will just use the first equation:
→ 
→
