There are two equation of the system

(1) The perimeter

    2(w + l) = p

    2(w + l) = 86

(2) The length and the width

     2w = l + 2

From the second equation

2w = l + 2

l + 2 = 2w

l = 2w - 2

Subtitute l with 2w - 2 in the first equation to find the width

2(w + l) = 86

2(w + 2w - 2) = 86

2(3w - 2) = 86

6w - 4 = 86

6w = 90

w = 15

Now, find the length by subtituting w with 15

l = 2w - 2

l = 2(15) - 2

l = 30 - 2

l = 28

The dimension of the rectangle

length = 28 cm

width = 15 cm

ANSWER QUICK!! 75 PTS!!!
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

2) x = -2 , y = 2

3) no solution exists

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{-2 x - 3 y = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute y = 2 x + 6 into the first equation:

{-2 x - 3 (2 x + 6) = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Expand the left hand side of the equation -2 x - 3 (2 x + 6) = -2.

-2 x - 3 (2 x + 6) = (-6 x - 18) - 2 x = -8 x - 18:

{-8 x - 18 = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for x:

{-8 x - 18 = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 18 to both sides:

{-8 x = 16

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by -8:

{x = -2

y = 2 x + 6

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = -2 into the second equation:

Answer: {x = -2 , y = 2

Solve the equation -20=-4x-6x​
asambeis [7]

Answer: x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add -4x and -6x to get -10x. Then you will have -20 = -10x. So you divide both sides by -10 to get 2 = x
