Multiply the first equation by 7 and the second equation by 2, and then add.

Step-by-step explanation:

2f - 5g=-9

-7f + 3g=4

To eliminate any variable , we need to make the coefficients same with different sign and add it

the coefficient of 'f' in first equation is 2

the coefficient of 'f' in second equation is -7

We already have different sign so we make the coefficients same

To make the coefficient same , we multiply the first equation by 7  and second equation by 2

So equation becomes

14f - 35g = -63

-14f + 6g = 8

Now when we add both equations, 'f' gets cancelled

-29g = -55

A square has a perimeter of 28 inches. Find the area of the square.
sasho [114]

Answer:

A = 49 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is found by

P = 4s where s is the side length

28 = 4s

Divide each side by 4

28/4 = 4s/4

7 =s

We want to find the area

A = s^2 where s is the side length

A = 7^2

A = 7^2

A = 49 in^2
