Answer:
x = 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:

x=
Area of the whole rectangle with dimensions 4 by 4 = 16cm²
Area of the missing 4 corner squares = 4 ( 1 x 1) = 4 cm²
Area of the figure = 16 - 4 = 12 cm²
Answer: 12 cm²
S1=$70/20gal=$3.50 per gallon
s2=$33.50/(50/4)gal=$2.68 per gallon
s3=$48.75/(15+8)gal=$2.12 per gallon
So supplier #3 has the best deal.
30/7 +30/7=60/7
60/7-22/7=38/7
59/7 -38/7=21/7
21/7 -19/7=2/7
<h3>The solution as an ordered pair is (x,y) = (2,2)</h3><h3>x = 2 and y = 2 pair up together.</h3>
===============================
Work Shown:
4x+2y = 12
4x+2( y ) = 12
4x+2( 2x-2 ) = 12 ... replace y with 2x-2
4x+2( 2x ) + 2( -2 ) = 12 ... distribution rule
4x+4x-4 = 12
8x-4 = 12
8x-4+4 = 12+4 ... add 4 to both sides
8x = 16
8x/8 = 16/8 ... divide both sides by 8
x = 2 is the first part of the answer
Use x = 2 to find y
y = 2x-2
y = 2(2)-2 ... replace x with 2
y = 4-2
y = 2 is the second part of the answer
