The last two options relies on side lengths.
The second option is relies on area because you have to calculate the area of the lid to know how much paper can be used to cover it.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
First use distribution
4(3x+y)= 12x+4y
and
-2(x-5y)= -2x+10y
combine the 2 answers
10x+14y
Absolute value means the total distance from zero. So you get rid of any negative signs and then look at which number has the lowest value (which is the smallest number without any negative signs).
Use substitution
-x + 4 = 1/3x + 8
4 = 4/3x + 8
-4 = 4/3x
x = -4 * 3/4
x = -3
Then plug x into one of the original equations. In this case y = -x + 4 is the easiest.
y = -(-3) + 4
y = 7
