Sorry about the scrawly handwriting!
Step-by-step explanation:
You can split the figure into 2 trapezoids as shown.
Answer: x=3 and y=−2
Step-by-step explanation:
x=−2y−1;4x−4y=20
Step: Solve x=−2y−1 for x:
Step: Substitute−2y−1 for x in 4x−4y=20:
4x−4y=20
4(−2y−1)−4y=20
−12y−4=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−12y−4+4=20+4(Add 4 to both sides)
−12y=24
−12y
−12
=
24
−12
(Divide both sides by -12)
y=−2
Step: Substitute−2 for y x=−2y−1:
x=−2y−1
x=(−2)(−2)−1
x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
width = 6
length = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter = 2L + 2W
L = W - 2
plug in perimeter:
20 = 2L + 2W
you know the length is 2 less than the width
plug in (w - 2) for L:
20 = 2(w - 2) + 2w
solve for w:
20 = 2w - 4 + 2w
20 = 4w - 4
4w = 24
w = 6
now plug in 6 for w in either equation, whichever is easier to solve:
L = 6 - 2
L = 4
width = 6
length = 4
I think it's the 2 one I'm 76 percent sure
