<span>width = x
</span><span>length = 6x + 8
x + 6x + 8 = 156/2
7x + 8 = 78
7x = 78 - 8
7x = 70
x = 70/7
x = 10 m </span>← width
Answer:
x = 2, y= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -2x+7
y = 5x-7
Since the equations are both equal to y, set them equal to each other
-2x+7 = 5x-7
Add 2x to each side
-2x+7 +2x= 5x+2x-7
7 = 7x -7
Add 7 to each side
7+7 = 7x
14 = 7x
Divide by 7
14/7 = 7x/7
2 = x
Now find y
y = 5x-7
y = 5*2 -7
y = 10-7
y =3
This is what I have but it doesn't match with your answers
I would say the amount used would be at least 50 gallons because it makes most sense. Hope I helped :))
