An ellipse is divided into two axes, the longer axis is the
major axis and the shorter axis is the minor axis. The length of the major axis
of an ellipse is equal to the sum of two distance: the distance between any
point on the ellipse and one on focus and the distance between the same point
and the other focus. The focus is the point that helps define an ellipse and
every ellipse has two foci. These two distance are also called the red line
segment and blue line segment. Given 6 for red line segment and 4 for blue line
segment therefore, the length of the major axis of the ellipse is 10.

And I kindly decline the marriage offer lol. If you need an explanation of how I did this then I will gladly do so they are pretty simple.
Answer:
Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x
cost per square foot of sheet metal = $30
Step-by-step explanation:
Total sheet metal bought = 7.6 ft2
Total sheet metal used = 3.5 ft2
Given equation:
7.6x − 3.5x = 123
Where,
x = cost per square foot
7.6x − 3.5x
Sheet metal remaining = 4.1x
7.6x − 3.5x = 123
4.1x = 123
x = 123 / 4.1
x = $30
Cost per square foot = $30
1. Understand what multi-variable equations are.
Two or more linear equations that are grouped together are called a system. That means that a system of linear equations is when two or more linear equations are being solved at the same time.
[1] For example:
• 8x - 3y = -3
• 5x - 2y = -1
These are two linear equations that you must solve at the same time, meaning you must use both equations to solve both equations.
2. Know that you are trying to figure out the values of the variables, or unknowns.
The answer to the linear equations problem is an ordered pair of numbers that make both of the equations true.
In the case of our example, you are trying to find out what numbers ‘x’ and ‘y’ represent that will make both of the equations true.
• In the case of this example, x = -3 and y = -7. Plug them in. 8(-3) - 3(-7) = -3. This is TRUE. 5(-3) -2(-7) = -1. This is also TRUE.
3. Know what a numerical coefficient is.
The numerical coefficient is simply the number that comes before a variable.[2] You will use these numerical coefficients when using the elimination method. In our example equations, the numerical coefficients are:
• 8 and 3 for the first equation; 5 and 2 for the second equation.
4. Understand the difference between solving with elimination and solving with substitution.
When you use elimination to solve a multivariable linear equation, you get rid of one of the variables you are working with (such as ‘x’) so that you can solve the other variable (‘y’). Once you find ‘y’, you can plug it into the equation and solve for ‘x’ (don’t worry, this will be covered in detail in Method 2).
• Substitution, on the other hand, is where you begin working with only one equation so that you can again solve for one variable. Once you solve one equation, you can plug in your findings to the other equation, effectively making one large equation out of your two smaller ones. Again, don’t worry—this will be covered in detail in Method 3.
5. Understand that there can be linear equations that have three or more variables.
Solving for three variables can actually be done in the same way that equations with two variables are solved. You can use elimination and substitution, they will just take a little longer than solving for two, but are the same process.
