Answer:

The equation can be expressed as;

x+y=71 where,

Lengths of two equal sides=x=22 m

Lengths of longer side=y=27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total perimeter can be expressed as;

Total perimeter=Total length of the equal sides+total length of the longer side

where;

Total perimeter=71 m

Total length of each of the equal sides=x m

Total length of longer side=y=(x+5) m

replacing;

x+y=71...equation 1

71=(2×x)+(x+5)

2 x+x=71-5

3 x=66

x=66/3

x=22 m

y=x+5=22+5=27 m

Lengths of two equal sides=22 m

Lengths of longer side=27 m

Equation;

x+y=71

Use elimination to solve the system of equations. Show your work 5×-3y=6,2×+5y=-10.
Fofino [41]

Answer:

5(5x-3y=6)

3(2x+5y=-10)

25x-15y=30

6x+15y=-30

31x= 0

x = 0

5(0)-3y=6

-3y=6

y= -2

(0,-2)

What is -x/3 = 9. Solve for x
vlada-n [284]

Note: I just noticed that you only have one negative sign. If you mean to put -9, change the sign to positive. If not, leave the answer.

Note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the x. First, multiply 3 to both sides

-x/3(3) = 9(3)

-x = 9(3)

-x = 27

Next, to isolate the x, divide -1 from both sides

-x/-1 = 27/-1

x = 27/-1

x = -27

-27 is your answer for x.

hope this helps
