All you have to do is combine like terms here...all the x's and then all the constants. 2.3x + 2x -.2x = 4.1x; 14 + 15 = 29, so the perimeter is 4.1x + 29, A above.
Answer:
x = -4, y = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify the 1st equation by dividing each term by 4 to get:
x + 2y = -1
-5x + 2y = 23
Subtract to get: 6x = -24
x = -4
find 'y': 2y - 5(-4) = 23
2y + 20 = 23
2y = 3
y = 3/2
In standard form the two equations are
7x +y = 5
7x +y = -5
The equations describe lines that are parallel.
