ANSWER

The correct answer is A.

EXPLANATION

The given systems of equations are

2f - 5g = - 9 - - (1)

-7f+3g=4 - - (2)

If we multiply the first equation by 7 we get,

14f - 35g = - 63 - - (3)

If we multiply the
- 14f + 6g = 8 - - (4)

Adding equation (3) and (4) gives,

- 31g = - 55
We can see that f has been eliminated from the equation, and hence we can find g and use it to find f.

However, if we multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 5, and then subtract, none of the variables will be eliminated.

Also, if we multiply the first equation by –7 and the second equation by 2, and then add, neither f nor g will be eliminated.

The same thing applies to multiplying the first equation by –3 and the second equation by 5, and then adding will not eliminate any of the variables.

Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram. If one side measures 76 ft and 250 ft of fencing
Leni [432]

The length of side of garden are 76 feet and 49 feet

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Elias has decided to fence in a garden that is in the shape of a parallelogram

Measure of one side = 76 feet

250 ft of fencing is needed to enclose the garden

Therefore, perimeter = 250

<em><u>The perimeter of parallelogram is given by:</u></em>

Perimeter = 2(a + b)

Where, a and b are the length of sides

Here, a = 76

b = ?

<em><u>Substituting in formula, we get</u></em>

250 = 2(76 + b)

250 = 152 + b

2b = 250 - 152

2b = 98

b = 49

Thus the length of side of garden is 49 feet
