Answer:
x=-22/4
y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-2y=-5
4x+2y=-16
we <u>add</u> the equation
7y=-21
y=-3
then we find the x by taking a random equation
I take 4x+2y=-16
4x+2(-3)=-16
4x-6=-16
4x=-22
x=-22/4
The area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, A rectangular painting is 24 inches wide and 20 inches tall without the frame
The area of rectangle is given as:

<em><u>Find the area of painting without frame:</u></em>
Length = 20 inches
Width = 24 inches

Thus area of painting without frame is 480 square inches
With the frame, it is 28 inches wide and 24 inches tall
<em><u>Find the area of painting with frame:</u></em>
Length = 24 inches
Width = 28 inches

Thus area of painting with frame is 672 square inches
<em><u>What is the area of the frame not covered by the painting</u></em>
Area of the frame not covered by the painting = Area with farme - Area without frame
Area of the frame not covered by the painting = 672 - 480 = 192
Thus the area of the frame not covered by the painting is 192 square inches
