-------------------------------------------------------------
Formula for Area :
-------------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width

Since we know that the area is 209 ft² and the sides are (4x-5)ft and (4x+3) ft, we will plug in these values and solve for x.

209 = (4x-5)(4x + 3)

-------------------------------------------------------------
Expand the quadratic using FOIL:
-------------------------------------------------------------
209 = 16x² + 12x - 20x - 15

-------------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms:
-------------------------------------------------------------
209 = 16x² - 8x - 15

-------------------------------------------------------------
Take away 209 from both sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
0 = 6x² - 8x - 224

-------------------------------------------------------------
Switch Sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
16x² - 8x - 224 = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 8 through :
-------------------------------------------------------------
2x² - x - 28 = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Factoise :
-------------------------------------------------------------
(2x + 7) (x - 4) = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Apply zero product property:
-------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 7 = 0 or x - 4  = 0
x = -7/2 (rejected) or x = 4

-------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2 sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
(4x - 5) = (4(4) - 5) = 11 ft
(4x + 3) = (4(4) + 3)  = 19 ft

-------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The dimensions are 11 ft by 19 ft.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Me ayudan con esa ecuacion por sustitucion con la comprobacion pliss
attashe74 [19]
<span>1/2x+3y/4=5 => (1/2)x + (3/4)y = 5

1/5x+3y/2=2  => (1/5)x + (3/2)y = 2

Eliminate the fractional coefficients:  Mult. the first equation by 4 and mult. the second equation by 10:


2x + 15y = 20     

</span><span>Multiply the 1st equation by -1:

-</span>2x - 3y = -20
2x + 15y = 20 
-------------------
       12y = 0, so y = 0.  Then the first equation becomes  2x + 3(0) = 20, or
                                     x=10.

Solution is (10,0).
