Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
<u>I assume that you want to solve this system of two equations</u>
(1) 5x - y = -7
(2) 4x + 2y = -14
We will multiply (1) by 2 and add to (2) so that we can eliminate the terms in y
2*(1)+(2) gives
10x - 2y + 4x + 2y = -7*2 -14 = -14 - 14 = -28
<=>
14x = - 28 we can divide by 14 both parts
x = -28/14 = -2
and then we replace x in (1)
5*(-2)-y=-7
-10-y=-7 add 7
-10-y+7=0
-3-y=0 add y
-3 = y
which is equivalent to y = -3
do not hesitate if you have any question

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.
Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:
It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.
From the question, we have the following ratio:
I did not add ± because length is always positive, so the case of negative is eliminated.
Now the areas of S is
Therefore, the total area of the shaded squares is
