Given dimensions of a rectangular garden are:
length = 2(x+6) feet
width = 3.5x feet
using the distributive property on length we get, length = 2x+12
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length+width)
So, P = 2(2x+12+3.5x)
Solving it we get,
P = 2(5.5x +12) ..............adding like terms
P = 
.............multiplying and adding
P = 11x+24
So, perimeter is 11x+24 feet. This value of fencing will be needed.
The smallest of the four numbers is x.
Since the four numbers are consecutive, this means that each number is one more than the previous.
Therefore, the four numbers are:
x
x + 1
x+1 + 1 = x+2
x+2 + 1 = x+3
Now, we are given that the sum (s) of the four numbers is 2174
This means that:
s = x+x+1+x+2+x+3
s = 4x + 6
We are given that s = 2174. Substitute with s in the above equation and solve for x as follows:
2174 = 4x + 6
4x = 2174 - 6
4x = 2168
x = 2168 / 4
x = 542
Based on the above calculations, the four numbers are:
542, 543, 544 and 555
Answer:
(-7, -12)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-3y=8
5x-2y=-11
Is there any of the like terms can be added and the result will be 0? No, so we have to multiple one OR both of the equations to make that one number do that.
(I will try to remove the y like terms so i will multiple both of them by the opposite so both of the ys will be 6)
2(4x-3y=8)
-3(5x-2y=-11)
8x-6y=16
-15x+6y=33
(now the easy part… cancel the 6s and add the equations)
8x+(-15x)=-7x
16+33=49
-7x=49
(divide 49 by -7)
x=-7
Replace x in any of the equations and you’ll get the y value.
4x-3y=8
4(-7)-3y=8
-28-3y=8
-3y=36
y=12
Threfore, there is one solution which is….. (-7,-12)
