9x+8y
Step-by-step explanation:
first you would take your liked terms and combine them.
1. 5x+4x=9x
2. 3y+5y=8y
Answer:
<em>The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Before calculating the real dimensions of Marlien's living room, we must find the value of x.
Given the total shape of the house is a rectangle, then both widths must be equal and both lengths must be equal.
The widths are already written width identical expressions x-2+x, but the lengths are given as different functions of x. Equating both expressions, we have:

Simplifying:
-10 + x - 2 = 2
x = 10 + 2 + 2
x = 14
Since x=14 feet, the dimensions of Marlien's living room are
width=x=14 feet
length=2x+2=30 feet
Thus the area is:
A = 14*30 = 420 square ft
The area of Marlien's living room is 420 square ft

If you meant to write y=23x-4 then none of the lines are perpendicular.
I suspect you intended y=2/3x-4, then line D, y=-3/2x-4 is perpendicular.
For any line y=mx+b, you have to "invert" m to get a perpendicular line. Inverting in this case means: flip numerator and denominator and add a minus sign.
So 2/3 becomes -3/2, hence answer D.
The 'inverted' m is called the opposite reciprocal. That's your word of the day.
