Answer:

a + b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, we can use a strategy called elimination, which is when we get rid of a variable by adding/subtracting two equations.

Firstly, we want to make sure the absolute value of the coefficients that equal.

Lets eliminate b:

4a + 6b = 24

Multiply both sides by 2:

8a + 12b = 48

We also have:

6a - 12b = -6.

Now lets add that with

8a + 12b = 48

-> 6a + 8a + 12b - 12b = 48 -6

-> 14a = 42

-> a = 3

Now that we know a, lets plug it into one of our original equations:

4(3) + 6b = 24

12 + 6b = 24

6b = 12

b = 2

Finally, add the two values we found:

a+b = 2+3= 5

The area of the rectangle shown is 66m^2
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

143cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=2(l+b)

Substitute the values for the variables.

66=2(l+22/5)

66=2xl+2x<u>22</u>

5

66=2l+<u>44</u>

5

Cross multiply

66x5=2l+44

330=2l+44

Collect like terms

-2l = 44-330

-2l = -286

<u>-2l </u>=<u> </u><u>-286</u>

-2 -2

l=143

The missing length is 143m.
