Y=3x-10 and 3x+2y=16
y=3x-10
subsitute 3x-10 for y in other equation

3x+2y=16
3x+2(3x-10)=16
distribute
3x+6x-20=16
9x-20=16
add 20 both sides
9x=36
divide both sides by 9
x=4

sub back

y=3x-10
y=3(4)-10
y=12-10
y=2

x=4
y=2
(4,2) is soluiton

the perimeter of a rectangular field is (16a+8b-6c) units and one of its side is (5a+3b-4c) find the other side

Jet001 [13]

3a+b+c

The perimeter is two times one side (to account for the opposite) and two times the adjacent side. So if the sides would be x and y, the perimeter would be 2*x + 2*y.

So, knowing that the sum is 16a+8b-6c, if we subtract the given side 5a+3b-4c from this, what remains is two times the "other" side:

16a+8b-6c - 2*(5a+3b-4c) =

16a+8b-6c -10a-6b+8c =

6a+2b+2c

half of that is

(6a+2b+2c)/2 = 3a+b+c
