Solve it by substitution. First let's rewrite the first equation (3x+4y=16) so we have y = something, then we'll substitue that in to the other equation.
3x+4y=16
4y=-3x+16
y=-3/4x+4
Now we can substitute this into the other equation.
A. False
Why? Because you cut off the triangle. The measurements are 20 mm and 10 mm.
B. True
Why? Because 20*10 = 200
C. False
Why? Because the base is 6 since 26 - 20 is 6. The height is 4, not 6 because 10 - 6 is 4.
D. True
Why? Because like question C., the base is 6, and the height is 4. 6*4 is 24/2 = 12. If you don't get this, the formula for all triangles is b*h*1/2
E. True
Why? Because from questions B. and D., the area of the rectangle is 200 and the area of the triangle is 12. 200 + 12 = 210.
Hope this helped,

Look at this:
2x+$2,000=$28,000
2x=$28,000-$2,000
2x=$26,000
x=26,000 divided by 2
x=$13,000
