Hope this helps!
Answer:
p=4
Step-by-step explanation:
distance b/n points is given by formula
Area=legnth times width
legnth=6
area=6x+18
subsitute
6x+18=6 times width
undistribute 6 from each term on left side
6(x+3)=6 times width
divide both sides by 6
x+3=width
We are have a system of equations with 2 variables, x and y
Equation 1: -3x-3y = 3
Equation 2: y = -5x-17
For equation 1, the y is by itself on one side of the equation, so it is really easily to substitute it into equation 2. In general, to solve for system of equations, you either do elimination or substitution. You just have to find which is easier for this situation.
By substituting y for -5x-17 in equation 1, there is only 1 variable which we can solve for.
-3x-(-5x-17) = 3
Distribute negative sign to (-5x-17) Avoid the common error of forgetting!
-3x+5x+17 = 3
Combine like terms- same variables are like terms (ex. 4x and 29x) and all constants are like terms (ex. 7 and 189 )
2x+17 = 3
Subtract 17 from both sides so all the variables are on one side and the constants on the other
2x = -14
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x
x = -7
We now know that x = -7 so we need to plug it into an equation to solve for y
Equation 2: y = -5x-17
y = -5 (-7) -17
y = 18
Now we know that x = -7 and y = 8
We can write it as (-7, 8)
