There are so many ways that landscapers use the formula for area. One of the most common ways they use the formula is to calculate the area of a yard. This helps landscapers figure out how much grass they need to cover a yard.

Perimeter and area are two important and fundamental mathematical topics. They help you to quantify physical space and also provide a foundation for more advanced mathematics found in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. Perimeter is a measurement of the distance around a shape and area gives us an idea of how much surface the shape covers.

Knowledge of area and perimeter is applied practically by people on a daily basis, such as architects, engineers, and graphic designers, and is math that is very much needed by people in general. Understanding how much space you have and learning how to fit shapes together exactly will help you when you paint a room, buy a home, remodel a kitchen, or build a deck.

QUESTION 1

The given system of equations is

$3d - e = 7...eqn(1)$
$d + e = 5...eqn(2)$

To solve by linear combination, we add equation (1) to equation (2) to get,

$3d + d= 7 + 5$

$4d = 12$

We divide through by 4 to obtain,

$d = \frac{12}{4}$

$d = 3$

We put d=3 into equation (2) to get,

$3+ e = 5$

$e = 5 - 3$

$e = 2$

$\boxed {The \: solution \: is \: (3, 2)}$

QUESTION 2

The given system is

4x + y = 5 ...eqn(1)

3x + y = 3 ...eqn(2)

To solve by linear combination, we subtract equation (2) from equation (1) to eliminate y from the equation.

This will give us,

$4x - 3x = 5 - 3$

This implies that,

$x = 2$

Put x=3 into equation (1) to get,

$4(2) + y = 5$

$8+ y = 5$

$y = 5 - 8$

$y = - 3$

The solution is

$(2,-3)$

QUESTION 3

We want to solve the system;

a – 2b = –2 ....eqn(1)

2a + 2b = 14...eqn(2)

by linear combination.

We need to add equation (1) to equation (2) to eliminate b.

This implies that,

$2a + a = 14 + - 2$

Simplify,

$3a = 12$

Divide both sides by 3 to get,

$a = 4$
Put a=4 into equation (2) to obtain,

$2(4) + 2b = 14$

$8 + 2b = 14$
$2b = 14 - 8$

$2b = 6$

$b = 3$

The ordered pair in the form (a, b) is

$(4,3)$

QUESTION 4

The given system of equations is

11x + 4y = 18 ...eqn(1)

3x + 4y = 2 ...eqn(2)

We subtract equation (2) from equation (1) to get,

$11x - 3x = 18 - 2$

$8x = 16$

$x = 2$

Put x=2 into equation (2) to obtain,

$3(2) + 4y = 2$

This implies that,

$6 + 4y = 2$

$4y = 2 - 6$

$4y = - 4$

$y=-1$

The correct answer is (2,-1).

QUESTION 5

The given system is ;

2d + e = 8...eqn1

d – e = 4...eqn2

We add the two equations to eliminate e.

This implies that,

$2d + d = 8 + 4$

$3d = 12$

We divide both sides by 3 to get,

$d = 4$

We put d=4 into equation (2) to get,

$4 - e = 4$

$- e = 4 - 4$

$- e = 0$

$e = 0$

The solution is

$(4,0)$
