Answer:

41 cm and 166 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As per question we have:

2(l + w) = 414 ⇒ l + w = 207
l = 5w - 39

Solve it for l by substitution:

5w - 39 + w = 207
6w = 207 + 39
6w = 246
w = 246/6
w = 41

Find l:

l = 207 - 41 = 166

Solve this system of equations using the Substitution method. 3x + y = -2 y = 2x + 3

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we see that y = -3x-3

substitute that into the other equation to get

-3x-3 = 2x+7

-5x = 10

x = -2

so, y = -3(-2)-3 = 3

check to make sure (-2,3) solves both equations.

For questions 2 z 3. simplify each polynomial 2. 3x²+6-2x+5x-4x²+9 3. 2x²+6x-7x+8-3x²+1

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

2. $-x^{2} +3x+15$

3. $-x^{2} -x+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

We add like terms together to simplify

2. 3x²-4x²= -x² -2x+5x= 3x 6+9= 15 all equal to -x²+3x+15

3. 2x²-3x²= -x² 6x-7x= -x 8+1=9 all equal to -x²-x+9
