I was stuck on the same thing in my class test. I ended up failing but if I get the answers to it I’ll totally send them to you
General Idea:
(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find
(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem
(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.
(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE
Applying the concept:
Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse
<u>Statement 1: </u>"The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

------
<u>Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"</u>

------
<u>Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."</u>

------
<u>Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."</u>

Conclusion:
The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.

It looks like it goes through (0,-3) and (1,2), so the gradient is (change in y)/(change in x) ->
(-3-2)/(0-1) = 5
So y=5x+b
Then as we know it passes the y axis at (0,-3) so b= -3
So we have y=5x-3
It’s C because if you type it In this is what it comes out as
