EQ. 1: x + y = 8
EQ. 2: 4x-y = 7
Rewrite EQ. 1 as EQ. 3: x = 8-y
Replace x in EQ.2 with EQ. 3:
4(8-y) - y = 7
Use the distributive property:
32 - 4y - y = 7
Combine like terms:
32 - 5y = 7
Subtract 32 from each side:
-5y = -25
Divide both sides by -5
y = -25 / -5
y = 5
Now replace y with 5 in EQ. 3 to solve for X:
x = 8-5
x = 3
The point of intersection is X = 3, Y = 5, which is written as (3,5)

Answer:
9.76
Step-by-step explanation:
area of a rectangle = length * breadth
length = (2x + 3)
breadth = x
given area is 220 sq. inches.
thus,
220 = x * (2x+3)
220 = 2x² +3x
2x² + 3x -220 = 0
x = (-b + √ ( b²-4ac) ) ÷ 2a
x = ( -3 + √ ( 3² - 4*2*220) ) ÷ 2*2
x =9.76
