Next time, please share your system of linear equations by typing only one equation per line:
<span>3x - 2y - 7 = 0 5x + y - 3 = 0 NO
</span><span>3x - 2y - 7 = 0
5x + y - 3 = 0 YES
Mult. the 2nd equation by 2 so as to obtain 2y, which will be cancelled out by - 2y in the first equation:
</span><span> 3x - 2y - 7 = 0
2(5x + y - 3 = 0)
Then:
3x - 2y - 7 = 0
10x +2y - 6 = 0
----------------------
13x - 13 = 0, so that x = 1. Find y by subbing 1 for x in either of the 2 given equations.</span>
The length of side walk is 500 feet
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, A rectangle park measures 300 ft by 400 ft
Length = 300 feet
Width = 400 feet
A sidewalk runs diagonally from one comer to the opposite corner
We have to find the length of side walk
Which means, we have to find the length of diagonal of rectangle
<em><u>The diagonal of rectangle is given by formula:</u></em>

Where,
d is the length of diagonal
w is the width and l is the length of rectangle
<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>

Thus length of side walk is 500 feet
