Step-by-step explanation:
a.
simply add both equations
x + y = 2
-3x - y = 5
----------------
-2x + 0 = 7
x = -7/2
x + y = 2
-7/2 + y = 2
y = 2 + 7/2 = 4/2 + 7/2 = 11/2
b.
1/2 x + 2y = -13
x - 4y = 8
first multiply the first equating by 2
x + 4y = -26
x - 4y = 8
--------------------
2x + 0 = -18
x = -18/2 = -9
x - 4y = 8
-9 - 4y = 8
-4y = 17
y = -17/4
<span>The base in the question you provided is the variable x,
hope this helps.

The awenser of the problem is A
The equation is simply 8s where s is the length of a side. There are 8 sides. You are just adding the length of all 8 sides together to get the perimeter.
