Answer: Option b.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to calculate the ratio of the area. This is:

You know that the area of the smaller trapezoid is 771 m², then you can set up the following proportion, where "x" is the area of the larger trapezoid. Then you have:

Now you must solve for "x". Therefore, you get that the area of the larger trapezoid is:

Length X width = area. for this problem, just divide the area of 756 sq. inches by the length of 108 in. to find the width.
X=-1 and y=5
As when u replace the values x will give you negative 1 and when u replace negative 1 in y=-5x you get 5
Cramer's rule works as follows:
x+3y=16
3x+y=8
Then
x=Dx/D
y=Dy/D
where Dx,Dy,D are 2x2 matrices formed from of coefficients and right hand side.
D=
1 3
3 1
=1-9=-8
Dx=matrix D with first column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
16,3
8 1
=16-24
=-8
Dy=matrix D with second column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
1 16
3 8
=8-48
=-40
Therefore
x=-8/-8=1
y=--40/-8=5
Check:
x+3y=1+3(5)=16
3x+y=3(1)+5=8 ok.
