2x + 2y = 6 . . . . . (1)
x + 3y = -1 . . . . . (2)
(1) x 3 => 6x + 6y = 18 . . . . . (3)
(2) x 2 => 2x + 6y = -2 . . . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4x = 20
x = 20/4 = 5
Answer:
just set the 2 equations equal to each other. answer is 7, 13/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>The equation can be used to find the actual length of Gregory's room is:</u></em>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
The scale that he uses is:
1 cm : 4 feet
On this drawing, the room is 3 cm long
Let "x" be the actual length of room
Therefore,
1 cm : 4 feet
3 cm : "x" feet
This forms a proportion. Therefore,

Therefore, Option C is correct
Given that,
Rob chose A as the correct answer. Which is,

But option A is wrong
So, Rob made a mistake in measuring the equivalent ratio, it should be 
Subtract to get your answer.
So, 3 1/6- 1 4/6
Make improper fractions so easier to subtract
19/6-10/6=9/6= 1 3/6
So your answer is A.
(It couldn’t be D because that’s more than you even started with.)
