Answer:
{y,x} = {-6,-2}
Step-by-step explanation:
/ Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = 2x - 2
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] (2x-2) - x = -4
[1] x = -2
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = - 2
// By now we know this much :
y = 2x-2
x = -2
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 2(-2)-2 = -6
Answer:
Length = 2x + 5
Width = x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle = length × width
Expression for area of the rectangle = 2x² + 11x + 15
Factorising the quadratic expression
2x² + 11x + 15 = 2x² + 6x + 5x + 15 = (2x² + 6x) + (5x + 15) = 2x(x + 3) +5(x + 3) = (2x + 5)(x + 3)
Length = 2x + 5
Width = x + 3
