You can solve a system of equations 3 ways.
1. Elimination
This method is eliminates one of the variables in the system of equations to get 1 equation with only one 1 variable.
2. Graph
You graph both of the equations and find where they intersect if at all.
3. Substitution
If you know the value of one of variables, you can substitute it back into the equation.
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The area of a rectangular art studio is given by the quadratic trinomial:

By comparing this to:
ax²+bx+c
We have a=12, b=5, and c=-2
ac=12*-2=-24
The factors of -24 that gives a sum of 5 are 8,-5
We split the middle term with these factors to get:

Factor by grouping,

The possible dimensions are:

XY - X + 2Y -2 =X(Y-1) + 2(Y-1) = 2X(Y-1)

The backyard is 20 inches long and 37 inches wide. What is the area of the backyard?

We are given the backyard's length (20 inches long) and the backyard's width (37 inches wide).
We are asked to find the area of the backyard, which can be found using the following formula:-

<u>Where:-</u>
<u></u>
- A=Area of rectangle
- L=Length (20 inches)
- W=Width (37 inches)
Substitute the values:-

On simplification,
✳︎
, which is our final answer.
