Answer:
Dimensions are 20 X 44 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to build two equations:
For area X times Y = 880
For Perimeter 2x + 2y = 128
Now we need to solve one so we can substitute it into the other:
2x + 2y = 128 becomes
2x = 128 - 2y and then
x = 64 - y We will substitute this into the are equation
(64 - y)y = 880
64y - = 880
-
factor out the negative
-(
Factor:
-(y - 20)(y - 44) = 0
y-20 = 0 and y - 44 = 0
y = 20 and y = 44
Plugging these in two both of our formulas works
20 X 44 = 880 for area
2(20) + 2 (44) = 128 for perimeter
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need -9x on the left side, to move it, we must add 9x on both sides.
Done. We have Ax = 9x, By = 1y and C after the equal sign = -6
