Answer:
There is one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = -1
8x + 3y = -2
Multiply the first equation by -4
-8x -4y = 4
Then add the equations together to eliminate x
-8x -4y = 4
8x + 3y = -2
--------------------
-y = 2
Multiply by -1
y =-2
Now find x
2x+y =-1
2x+-2 =-1
Add 2 to each side
2x-2+2=-1+2
2x=1
Divide by 2
x = 1/2
So first off, remember the formula for the area of a rectangle. it's length time width right? or, you could think that A= 2 things multiplied together. how can we simplify x^2 - x -72 to equal two things multiplied together? well, we can factor it! We know that one of the factors is x+8 right? so what's the other factor? it would be x-9. so, we know width is x-9. I'm not sure if you need an actual value for width. if so, I could probably go further.
Okay i believe the first one is 4/7 and the second one is 2. also don’t listen to them. sometimes it can be hard and you start to stress. good luck and if this isn’t right i’m so sorry :) keep your head up!!!
