Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.
-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)
-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36
-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.
28y=-56
divide by 28 on both sides.
Y= -2
Then substitute y into one of the equations.
x+6(-2)=-6
x-12=-6
x=6
The ordered pair is (6,-2).

Answer:
1100 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The faces are all rectangles (area = length x width)
Area of bottom: 20 x 10 = 200
Area of front: 20 x 15 = 300
Area of back (same as front) = 300
Area of right side: 10 x 15 = 150
Area of left side (same as right side) = 150
Total of all the sides: 1100
4.567 inches should be the answer
