X - y = 8
x + 2 = 3y.....x = 3y - 2
3y - 2 - y = 8
2y = 10
y = 5
x - y = 8
x - 5 = 8
x = 8 + 5
x = 13
so x = 13 and y = 5
        
             
        
        
        
The answer simplified is:
a= —2x^2+7x+22
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The formula for finding area of a rectangle is a=lw. 
Write what is given
Area is 64.
Length if 16.
Width is unknown.
Therefore the equation would look like this:
64=16*w
Now to solve for w.
Divide 16 both sides.
64/16 is 4. Therefore:
w=4
