Say width equals x.
Length = 3x - 4
Solve for x: 72 = 2(3x - 4) + 2x
72=6x-8+2x
80=8x
X=10
So width = 10
Length= 3(10) - 4 = 26
A. solve for 1 variable
let's solve for x in 2nd equation
add 2y to both sides
x=2y+4
sub 2y+4 for x in other equation
3(2y+4)+y=5
6y+12+y=5
7y+12=5
minu12 both sides
7y=-7
divide 7
y=-1
sub back
x=2y+4
x=2(-1)+4
x=-2+4
x=2
(2,-1)
B. eliminate
eliminate y's
multiply first equation by 2 and add to first
6x+2y=10
<u>x-2y=4 +</u>
7x+0y=14
7x=14
divide by 7
x=2
sub back
x-2y=4
2-2y=4
minus 2
-2y=2
divide -2
y=-1
(2,-1)
(2,-1) is answer
Answer:
y > -x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is shaded <em>above</em> the <em>dashed</em> line, indicating y-values in the solution are greater than those on the line, so your inequality will start with ...
y >
The y-intercept of the line is (0, -3), so the "b" value in ...
y > mx +b
will be -3.
The line has a rise of -3 for a run of 3 (between the marked points), so the slope is ...
m = rise/run = -3/3 = -1
Then the inequality you want is ...
y > -x -3
The Answer Is 1.67 For Your Equation
