The equation of the first line can be written in point-slope form as
.. y = 3(x +1) -8
or
.. 3x -y = 5

The equation of the second line can be written in 2-point form as
.. y = (-1-3)/(10-(-6))*(x +6) +3
.. y = (-1/4)(x +6) +3
or
.. x +4y = 6

A graph shows the solution to this system is (x, y) = (2, 1).

_____
The second equation can be used to write an expression for x:
.. x = 6 -4y
This can be substituted into the first equation.
.. 3(6 -4y) -y = 5
.. 18 -13y = 5 . . . . . . . collect terms
.. 13 = 13y . . . . . . . . . add 13y-5
.. 1 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 13
From the above equation for x
.. x = 6 -4*1 = 2

Must show all work for 15 points

Answer:

Hey there!

a)

10x-1=4x+2

6x-1=2

6x=3

x=1/2 cm.

10x-1=4 cm.

So the width of the rectangle is 10/4, or 2.5 cm.

b)

l=3w

2l+2w=24

2(3w)+2w=24

6w+2w=24

8w=24

w=3

l=9

The are is 27 units squared.

Let me know if this helps :)
