The system of linear equations that relates x and y:
x= 15 + y
5 x = 2 y+ 525
We will solve this system using substitution method:
5(15 + y)=2 y + 525
75 + 5 y = 2 y + 525
5 y - 2 y = 525 - 75
3 y = 450, y = 450 : 3 y = 150
x = 15 + y x = 15 + 150 x = 165

143
Step-by-step explanation:
90-53=37
180-37=143
Answer:
278.25 cm2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the width of the rectangle is x (cm), as the length is 8cm longer, so that the length of the rectangle is: x + 8 (cm).
In the attached image, we can see the length of each side. Total length of the sides are 90 cm.
=> (x + x + 8) + x + 8 + (x+8) + (x + x + 8) + x + 8 + (x +8) = 90
=> 8x + 48 = 90
=> 8x = 90 - 48 = 42
=> x =42/8 = 5.25 (cm)
=> The width of the rectangle is 5.25cm
=> The length of the rectangle is: 5.25 + 8 = 13.25 cm
=> The area of one rectangle is: Length x Width = 5.25 x 13.25 = 69.5625 cm2
As the 8-sided shape is made from 4 rectangles, so that:
Area of 8 sided shape = 4 x Area of the rectangle = 4 x 69.5625 = 278.25 cm2
