Since you OWE,
the best integer is
-20
The solution to system is x = 0 and y = -1
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
-8x + 2y = -2 ----------- eqn 1
4x + 4y = -4 ---------- eqn 2
We have to solve the system of equations
We can solve the equations by elimination method
<em><u>Multiply eqn 2 by 2</u></em>
8x + 8y = -8 ------ eqn 3
<em><u>Add eqn 1 and eqn 3</u></em>
-8x + 2y = -2
8x + 8y = -8
( + ) ---------------
0x + 2y + 8y = -2 - 8
10y = -10
Divide both sides by 10
y = -1
<em><u>Substitute y = -1 in eqn 1</u></em>
-8x + 2(-1) = -2
-8x - 2 = -2
-8x = -2 + 2
x = 0
Thus the solution to system is x = 0 and y = -1
set up an equation for the perimeter
l = length w = width
2l + 2w = 64
set up another equation as you know the length is 3 times the width
w = 3l
subsitute w = 3l into the 2l + 2w = 64
2l + 2(3l) = 64
solve for l
2l + 6l = 64
8l = 64
<em><u>length</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>8</u></em>
subsitute into w = 3l
w = 3(8)
<em><u>width</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>4</u></em>
