Answer:
x = -8, y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y = 4 ------(1)
x + y = - 2
y = - x - 2 ----------(2)
Substitute y in (1)
x + 2(- x - 2) = 4
x - 2x - 4 = 4
- x = 4 + 4
x = -8
Substitute x in (2)
y = - (- 8) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
Answer
Length = 10 ft
Width = 5 ft
Explanation
Area of the rectangle given = 50 ft²
Let the width of the rectangle be x
So this means the length of the rectangle will be 3x - 5
What to find:
The dimensions of the rectangle.
Step-by-step solution:
Area of a rectangle = length x width
i.e A = L x W
Put A = 50, L = 3x - 5, W = x into the formula.

The quadratic equation can now be solve using factorization method:

Since the dimension can not be negative, hence the value of x will be = 5.
Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle will be:
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation: I had this question before
Markup=10.82(72/100)≈$7.79 (to nearest cent)
retail=10.82(100+72)/100≈$18.61 (to nearest cent)
[1] y = -x + 5
3x + 3•(-x +5) = 10
0 = -5 => NO solution
