Given system of equation:
y=-1/5x +1 Equation 1
y=x+4 Equation 2
Substitute value of y in equation 2.
x+4=-1/5x+1
Multiply both sides by 5.
5x+20=-x+5
Add x to both sides
6x+20=5
Subtract 20 from both sides
6x=-15
x=-15/6
x=-5/2
Now substitute value of x in equation 1.
y=-1/5 ( -5/2) +1
y=1/2+1
y=3/2

Solution is (x,y)= (-5/2 , 3/2)

Write an equation for the problem and then solve.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  • first rectangle: 18 by 9
  • second rectangle 21 by 6
  • x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter in each case is double the sum of the side dimensions. Since the perimeters are equal, the sum of side dimensions will be equal:

  2x +x = (x +12) +(x -3)

  3x = 2x +9 . . . . . . . . collect terms

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x

Given this value of x, the dimensions of the first rectangle are ...

  {2x, x} = {2·9, 9} = {18, 9}

And the dimensions of the second rectangle are ...

  {x+12, x-3} = {9+12, 9-3} = {21, 6}
