D. X = 8 , Y = 6
3x - 14 = x + 23x - x = 2 + 142x = 162x / 2 = 16/2x = 8
To check: 3x - 14 = x + 2 ; 3(8) - 14 = 8 + 2 ; 24 - 14 = 10 ; 10 = 10
4y - 7 = y + 114y - y = 11 + 73y = 183y / 3 = 18 / 3y = 6
To check: 4y - 7 = y + 11 ; 4(6) - 7 = 6 + 11 ; 24 - 7 = 17 ; 17 = 17
hopes it helps:)

Answer:
23 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If we add 5 inches to the shortest side, all sides will be the same length and the perimeter will be 69 inches. The longest sides have length that is 1/3 that, or ...
... (1/3)·(64 +5 in) = 23 in
_____
You can solve for x, but you obviously don't need to.
The perimeter is ...
... (4x -2) + 2(4x -2 +5) = 64
... 12x +4 = 64
... 12x = 60
... x = 5
... 4x -2 +5 = 4·5 +3 = 23 . . . . the length of the longest side in inches
