So you want to make one of the equations equal to one of the placeholders exg y=x+3
so we have
x+y=2 and
-2x+y=2
I chose to make -2x+y=2 equal to y so
-2x+y=2
add 2x to both sides
y=2+2x
subsitute 2+2x for y in x+y=2
x+2+2x=2
add like terms
3x+2=2
subtract 2 from both sides
3x=0
x=0
subsitute x=0 in x+y=2
0+y=2
y=2
x=0
y=2
We are given the following data
x y
1 4.5
2 6.75
3 10.125
4 15.1875
To get the multiplicative rate of change, we pick out two pairs of data so,
MROC = 6.75/4.5 / (2 - 1)
MROC = 1.5
The answer is 1.5
Area= l * b
12= 5 * b
b = 12/ 5
b= 2.4 ft
