L=2W-4
PERIMETER=2L+2W
58=2(2W-4)+2W
58=4W-8+2W
58=6W-8
6W=58+8
6W=66
W=66/6
W=11 ANS. FOR THE WIDTH.
L=2*11-4
L=22-4
L=18 ANS. FOR THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
58=2*18=2*11
58=36+22
58=58
Well just substitute y (the first equation) into the second equation.
So
5x-4(5-3x)=-3
Then just solve the equation from there.
5x-20+12x=-3
17x=17
x=1
and if you need y, y=2

Answer:
The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two numbers, a and b.
We know that one number is larger than another by 9.
Then we can write:
a = b + 9
then a is larger than b by 9 units.
If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
So we got two equations:
a = b + 9
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
This is a system of equations.
One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:
But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:
a = b + 9
now we can replace that in the other equation:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41
now we can solve this for b.
9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41
(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41
19 + 4b = -41
4b = -41 -19 = -60
b = -60/4 = -15
b = -15
then:
a = b + 9
a = -15 + 9 = -6
a = -6
Answer:
(-3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is like putting a mirror on the y-axis. It is asking what point is the photo negative of the point, like a mirror. You see yourself in the mirror but everything is opposite. Your right hand is your left. So which point is the photo negative of (3, 7)? (-3, 7) Because it is only across the y-axis, the y value stays the same.
