For this case we must solve the following system of equations:
To solve we follow the steps below:
We multiply the second equation by -3:
Thus, we have the equivalent system:
We add the equations:
We look for the value of the variable "y":
Thus, the solution of the system is given by:
Answer:
Solution,
We have,
Width of rectangle, b = (2.5u+9.8) cm
Length of rectangle, l = (1.5u+3.9) cm
We need to find the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
Perimeter = 2(l+b)
P = 2[(2.5u+9.8)+(1.5u+3.9)]
Collecting like terms
P = 2[(2.5u+1.5u)+(9.8+3.9)]
P=2(4u+13.7)
⇒ P = 8u+27.4
So, the expression for the perimeter of the rectangle is (8u+27.4) cm.
