If we are eliminating x, we would multiply the 2nd equation by -5
5x + 18y = 23
x + 3y = 2....multiply by -5
-----------------
5x + 18y = 23
-5x - 15y = - 10 (result of multiplying by -5)
----------------add
0 + 3y = 13.....bye-bye x :)
The decomposition of the parallelogram into triangle then into a rectangle is shown below
The measurement we need to calculate the area is the length and the width of the rectangle; 15 feet and 10 feet
Area = 15 × 10 = 150 feet²
Answer:
