Answer: -6 Your welcome
Step-by-step explanation: I just did it and got a 100
Y+x=98
y-x=22
I'm going to use elimination.
y+x=98
y-x=22
-----------
2y+0x=120 SIMPLIFY 2y=120 SIMPLIFY y=60.
Substitute that into either equation and you get y=60 and x=38
Have a nice day! :)
I believe the answer should be x equals 37
w is the width and it is the independent variable. You can pick any positive whole number you want (within reason of course; you can't go to infinity or go beyond some set boundary). Whatever you picked for w, the expression 2w-5 will be dependent on it. So the length is dependent on the width.
For instance, if the width is w = 10 feet, then 2w-5 = 2*10-5 = 20-5 = 15 feet is the length. The choice of 10 feet for the width directly affects the length being 15 feet.
