<u>Let's solve this problem step-by-step</u>
<u>Let's set</u>:
2x + 6y = 36 -- equation 1
x + 4y = 20 -- equation 2
(equation 2) * 2
2x + 8y = 40 -- equation 3
(equation 3) - (equation 1)
2y = 4
y = 2 -- equation 4
Plug (equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 2)
x + 4(2) = 20
x = 20 - 8
x = 12
<u>Thus x = 12 and y = 2</u>
<u>Let's check, by substituting these values</u>
<u>Answer: x = 12 and y = 2</u>
Hope that helps!
Answer:
B -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+8y = 11
We need to get the equation in the slope intercept form
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Subtract 4x from each side
4x-4x+8y = -4x+11
8y = -4x+11
Divide by 8
8y/8 = -4x/8 +11/8
y = -1/2x +11/8
The slope is -1/2 and the y intercept is 11/8
The perimeter is 62 inches. My work is shown in the picture.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
You're correct. The Y intercept is the B. And 3 the slope.
