Answer:

a)x+y=7 and y-x=3

b)x=2 and y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of the two perimeters must equal 28. That is:

4x+4y=28

x+y=7 <em>(simplified)</em>

The larger side length is 3 inches longer than the smaller side length. That is:

y=x+3

Sub 'x+3' in for y:

x+(x+3)=7

x+x=7-3

2x=4

x=2

y=x+3

=2+3

=5

A planet's year is the time it takes that planet to revolve around the Sun. A Mars year is 1.88 Earth years. If you are 13 years
Nata [24]
Mars year is 1.88 of your Earth years.
So if you are 13,

1.88 x 13=24.44, or 24 years old, I think.
