Answer:
x= -3 and y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
so basically what you are trying to do is reduce into finding x and y
what you do is you want to find a number to multiply one of the equations in order to get the same x or y value does not matter which
so,...
we can do
either 20x or 15y
we will go with the smallest 15y
so for both equations multiply the whole thing by 5 for the first equation and by 3 for the second
5 x 5x+3y=3 --> 1
3 x 4x+5y=18 --> 2
we then get
25x+15y = 15 -->1
12x + 15y = 54 -->2
then now that you have the same Y values you can subtract ! which cancels out both the 15y
25x+15y = 15 -->1
- 12x + 15y = 54 -->2
13x =-39
so now x=-3 and all you have to do with x = -3 is sub this into either one of the equations that you started with !
x = -3
5(-3) +3y =3
-15 + 3y = 3
3y = 3+15
3y=18
y = 6!
Answer: the length and width are
(x + 8) and (x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rug has an area represented by the expression
Area = 4x² + 64x + 256.
The factors in the factored expressions represent the length and width of the rug.
Dividing the the equation by 4, it becomes
x² + 16x + 64 = 0
We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is 16x and their product is 64x^2.
The two numbers are 8x and 8x. Therefore,
x² + 8x + 8x + 64 = 0
x(x + 8) + 8(x + 8) = 0
The factors are
(x + 8)(x + 8)
