3x+4y=12
9x-2y=15
we will use elimination
multiply 3x+4y=12 by -3
-9x-12y=-36
9x-2y=15
_________ add
-14y=-21
÷-14 both sides
y=1.5
find x
3x+4 (1.5)=12
3x+6=12
-6 both sides
3x=6
÷3 both sides
x=2
x=2
y=1.5
Answer:
2d = 2x + 5b = 6p
Step-by-step explanation:
2d = 1x + 5b + 1x = 6p
2d = 2x + 5b = 6p
Express your length and width as algebraic expressions:
width = x
length = 4x
Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to solve for x:
perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)
50 = 2(4x) + 2(x)
50 = 8x + 2x
50 = 10x
5 = x
The width (x) is 5 feet and the length (4x) is 20 feet.
