If we multiply the bottom equation by 2 and move x to the right, it becomes:
4y = 2x-38
Now we can substitute it for the 4y in the top equation:
3x + (2x-38) = -23 => 5x = -23+38 => 5x = 15 => x=3
Then 4y = 2*3-38 => y = -8
So the solution is (3,-8)
Find the area of all the separate figures and add them together
area of rectangle = length x width
11 x 3 = 33 ft
area of square = a^2
3^2 = 9ft
area of triangle = base x height over 2
11 x 3 = 33
33 over 2 = 16.5 ft
33 + 9 + 16.5 = 58.5 ft ^ 2
2/3 times x-4 = 6
thats the answer :)
