Answer:

x=2 and y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Equation 1:

500y-600x=2800

Simplifying the above equation by dividing both sides by 100

\frac{500y-600x}{100}=\frac{2800}{100}

\frac{500y}{100}-\frac{600x}{100}=28\\\\5y-6x=28

Equation 2:

400y-400x=2400

Simplifying the above equation by dividing both sides by 400.

\frac{400y-400x}{400}=\frac{2400}{400}

\frac{400y}{400}-\frac{400x}{400}=6\\\\y-x=6

Now the system of equation is:

(1a) 5y-6x=28

(2a) y-x=6

Solving by elimination

Multiplying equation (2a) with -5

-5(y-x)=-5\times 6

(2b) -5y+5x=-30

Adding equations (1a) and (2b) in order to eliminate y

      5y-6x=28

+  -5y+5x=-30

We get -x=-2

∴ x=2

Plugging x=2 in equation (2a).

y-2=6

Adding 2 both sides.

y-2+2=6+2

∴ y=8

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 254 ft. The length is 47 ft longer than the width. Find the dimensions.
Vikentia [17]

Answer: the length is 87 feet

The width is 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the playing field.

Let W represent the width of the playing field.

The playing field is rectangular. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 254 ft. This means that

254 = 2(L + W)

L + W = 254/2

L + W = 127 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The length is 47 ft longer than the width. This means that

L = W + 47

Substituting L = W + 47 into equation 1, it becomes

W + 47 + W = 127

2W + 47 = 127

2W = 127 - 47 = 80

W = 80/2 = 40

L = W + 47 = 40 + 47

L = 87
