Answer:
x = 8, y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 3y-4
2x - 8 = 2y
x - 4 = y
x = y + 4
substitute top equation to this equation
3y-4 = y+4
2y = 8
y = 4
now substitute this into second equation
x = y + 4
x = 8
check answer with first equation
x = 3y-4
8 = 3(4) - 4
8 = 8; correct
Answer:
263
Step-by-step explanation:
take the start amount 315 and subtract 78 then add 26 which would amount to 263
x=3 if the m was a typo, idk what that means
Answer:
Dimensions are 20 X 44 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to build two equations:
For area X times Y = 880
For Perimeter 2x + 2y = 128
Now we need to solve one so we can substitute it into the other:
2x + 2y = 128 becomes
2x = 128 - 2y and then
x = 64 - y We will substitute this into the are equation
(64 - y)y = 880
64y -
= 880
-
factor out the negative
-(
Factor:
-(y - 20)(y - 44) = 0
y-20 = 0 and y - 44 = 0
y = 20 and y = 44
Plugging these in two both of our formulas works
20 X 44 = 880 for area
2(20) + 2 (44) = 128 for perimeter
X+y=3
x*y=-9
This isn't possible because the only factor they share is 3 but 3+-3 =0 not 3
