We are given the equations 3x+5y=-3 and x-5y=-5.
Both equations have a 5y term which allows us to easily solve the system by elimination. To do so we will add the equations together like a simple addition problem by adding the x terms together, the y terms together, and the integer answers together.
3x + 5y = -3
+x - 5y = -5
---------------
4x + 0y = -8
The y terms cancel out since one is positive and one is negative. Now we can solve for x.
4x = -8

x = -2
Now plug -2 in for x in one of the original equations to find y.
(-2) - 5y = -5
-5y = -3
y = 3/5
Our answer as an ordered pair is (2, 3/5)
Answer:
24.997 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diameter:
7(2) = 14 cm
Find the circumference:
C = 
C = 
C = 43.988
Divide the circumference by 4:
43.988/4 = 10.997
(This is the length of the curved side)
Add length to the other 2 sides:
7 + 7 + 10.997 = 24.997
It is a bit tedious to write 6 equations, but it is a straightforward process to substitute the given point values into the form provided.
For segment ab. (x1, y1) = (1, 1); (x2, y2) = (3, 4).
... x = 1 + t(3-1)
... y = 1 + t(4-1)
ab = {x=1+2t, y=1+3t}
For segment bc. (x1, y1) = (3, 4); (x2, y2) = (1, 7).
... x = 3 + t(1-3)
... y = 4 + t(7-4)
bc = {x=3-2t, y=4+3t}
For segment ca. (x1, y1) = (1, 7); (x2, y2) = (1, 1).
... x = 1 + t(1-1)
... y = 7 + t(1-7)
ca = {x=1, y=7-6t}
