Answer:
x=5.6
y=-5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 5y = 14 Equation 1
– 2x + 2y = 0 Equation 2
Simultaneous equation can be solved either through elimination method or substitution method. But we use elimination method for this question
Multiply equation 1 by -2 (the coefficient of x in equation 2) and multiply equation 2 with 3 (the coefficient of x in equation 1), so that x will have the same coefficient in the new equations, and easy to eliminate
-2(3x - 5y = 14)
-6x+10y=-28 Equation 3
3(– 2x + 2y = 0)
-6x+6y=0 Equation 4
Subtract equation 4 from 3 to eliminate x
-6x+10y=-28
-6x+6y=0
-6x-(-6x)=-6x+6x=0
10y-6y=5y
-28-0=-28
5y=-28
y=-28/5
y=-5.6
Substitute for y in equation 2
– 2x + 2y = 0
– 2x + 2(-5.6) = 0
-2x-11.2=0
-2x=11.2
x=-11.2/2
x=5.6

Answer:
2(3(8))+2(8)=64
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, w represents the width of the rectangle,
∵ length of the rectangle is 3 times the width of the rectangle,
So, length = 3w,
Since, the perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2(length + width)
= 2(w + 3w)
= 2w + 2(3w)
If P = 64 feet,
⇒ 2w +2(3w) = 64
⇒ 2w + 6w = 64
⇒ 8w = 64
⇒ w = 8
Verification :
P = 2(8) + 2((3(8)) = 16 + 48 = 64 feet
Hence, the first step that should be taken to verify that the width of the rectangle is 8 is 2(3(8))+2(8)=64
Note : a solution obtain from an equation is verified by substituting the value in the equation.
