So we have lengths a and b and are given:
2a+2b = 66 => a+b = 33 => a= 33-b
a*b = 272
plug in one into the other:
(33-b)b = 272 => -b^2 +33b - 272 = 0
Can be factored as (b-16)(b-17) = 0, if you don't "see" this immediately, use the well known abc formula to find b.
So a=16 and b=17 or vice versa.
Answer:
(x, y) = (0, -2248)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Substitution</u>
Substitute for y:
300x -2248 = 350x -2248
0 = 50x . . . . . . . . add 2248-300x to both sides
x = 0
y = 300·0 -2248
The solution is (x, y) = (0, -2248).
__
<u>Elimination</u>
Subtract the first equation from the second.
(y) -(y) = (350x -2248) -(300x -2248)
0 = 50x
x = 0
y = 300·0 -2248
The solution is (x, y) = (0, -2248).
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
If you think for a bit about what the graph looks like, you realize both lines cross at their y-intercept, (0, -2248). That point of intersection is the solution to the system of equations.
