Answer:
I get x = 16/7 ft or about 2.29 ft for the width and 4.29 ft for the height.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of the leftmost rectangle:
A=l*w
A=4*2 (the 2 comes from 5-3)
A=8
Then find the area of the rightmost rectangle:
A=l*w
A=3*3 (the second 3 comes from 4-1)
A=9
So when you add 8 and 9, you get 17

-3x - 4y = 2
<u>8y</u> = <u>-6x - 4</u>
8 8
y = -0.75x - 0.5
-3x - 4(-0.75x - 0.5) = 2
-3x + 3x + 2 = 2
0x + 2 = 2
<u> - 2 - 2</u>
<u>0x</u> = <u>0</u>
0 0
x = 0
-3(0) - 4y = 2
0 - 4y = 2
<u>- 0 - 0</u>
<u>-4y</u> = <u>2</u>
-4 -4
y = 0.5
(x, y) = (0, 0.5)
