You would equal the equations together then solve for a variable.
-4x - 3 = -2x + 1
-4x + 2x = 1 + 3
-2x = 4
—— —-
-2 -2
x = -2
then take that x value and substitute it into any one of the equations.
Equation #1
y = -4(-2) -3
= 8 - 3
= 5
Equation #2
y = -2(-2) + 1
= 4 + 1
= 5
6x^2 is the correct answer to the problem.
1)Original Equation: V=lwh
Divide by lw: V/w=lw/lw(h)
Answer: h= V/lw
2)Set up the equation as V=lwh
Substitute the variables for numbers: 50=10(2)h
Multiply 10*2: 50=20h
Divide 50each side by 20 to get rid of 20h: 50/20=20/20
H=2.5
The height of the box is 2.5 meters tall.
