Answer:
(19.6,-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the rectangle is 0.25 or 1/4. This is because the area is equal to 5/8 or 0.625, and the width of the rectangle is 2 1/2 or 0.25. So 0.625/2.5 = 0.25 or 1/4.
To solve the set of equations given above, we can use the substitution method where we substitute one equation to the other and solving for one variable. We do as follows:
<span>0.4x - 0.1y = 2
x = 5 + 0.25y
0.2x + 0.5y = 1
</span>0.2(5 + 0.25y)+ 0.5y = 1
y = 0
x = 5
Therefore, the correct answer from the choices is option A, (5,0).
