Answer: the width of the frame is 3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the frame.

If the length of the mirror is 10 inches, the length of the mirror and the frame would be (x + 10) inches

If the width of the mirror is 7 inches, the width of the mirror and the frame would be (x + 7) inches

The mirror and frame together cover an area of 130 inches squared. This means that

(x + 10)(x + 7) = 130

x² + 7x + 10x + 70 = 130

x² + 17x + 70 - 130 = 0

x² + 17x - 60 = 0

x² + 20x - 3x - 60 = 0

x(x + 20) - 3(x + 20) = 0

x - 3 = 0 or x + 20 = 0

x = 3 or x = - 20

Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 3

Solve the system by substitution.<br> 4y =<br> 5x -10y =-50
Trava [24]

Answer:

x = -20 ; y =-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Eqn. 1 ----> 4y = x

Eqn. 2 ----> 5x-10y = -50

(Simplifying eqn.2 further)

=>5(x-2y)=-50

=>x-2y=\frac{-50}{5} =-10

(Substituting the value of x from eqn. 1)

=>4y-2y=-10

=>2y=-10

=>y =\frac{-10}{2} =-5

Now, substituting the value of y in eqn. 1 ,

x = 4*(-5)=-20
