First, multiply the first equation by 2.
That turns the first equation into:
6x - 2y = 18
That way it can easily be added to the second equation:
6x - 2y = 16
x + 2y = 5
---------------
7x = 21
==========
As you can see, the y disappeared, which was the objective of this operation.
Now the equations can be solved easily:
7x = 21
x = 3
Insert x=3 in the original equation:
3*3 - y = 8
9 - y = 8
9 = 8 + y
y = 1
So the result is:
x = 3
y = 1

I used a calculator :)
Answer:
18.1818181 Feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 27.5 by 20 to establish a ratio between the length and width of the house, then multiply your new ratio by 25. Units do not matter, as long as it's not like 27.5 mm high by .05 ft wide.
