Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 250 -eq.1

10x + 8y = 2276 -eq.2

eq.1 × 8

8x + 8y = 2000 -eq.3

eq.2 - eq.3

10x + 8y = 2276

( - ) 8x + 8y = 2000

2x = 276

x = 138

sub x = 138 into eq.1

138 + y = 250

y = 250 - 138

y = 112

x = 138, y = 112

The perimeter of a rectangle is 140 feet. The length of the rectangle is 6 more than 2 times the width. What is the length of th
Alja [10]
The equations we get are
l = 6 + 2w (We get this from "The length of the rectangle is 6 more than 2 times the width.")
and
2l + 2w = 140 (We get this from the perimeter. Two times the length plus two times the width equals the perimeter of a quadrilateral.)

The first equation can be written as
l - 2w = 6

So now we have
2l + 2w = 140
l - 2w = 6
____________
Add the two equations.
We get 3l = 146

Divide by 3 on both sides.
l = 48\frac{2}{3}

Your answer is 48\frac{2}{3}.
