Answer:
length is 7.5 and width is 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Its given that perimeter of the triangle is 24 units.
The condition is that length is 3 units more than the width.
l=w+3;
Formula for perimeter is 2(l+w).
so ,
2(w+w+3)=24,
2w+3=12,
w=4.5,
l=w+3=7.5
Hence for the given conditions length is 7.5 and width is 4.5.
That is true because the square root of 32 is about 5.66, so 4.65 IS less than it.
We can't eliminate as is so we have to change something up there in the equations to get either the x values the same number but opposite signs, or the y values the same number but opposite signs. I chose to change the y values to the same number but different signs. In the first equation y is -3y and in the second one, y is -8y. The LCM of both of those numbers is 24, so we will multiply the first equation by an 8 (8*3=24) and the second equation by 3 (3*8=24) but since they are both negative right now, one of those multiplications has to involve a negative because - * - = +. Set it up like this:
8(-10x - 3y = -18)
-3(-7x - 8y = 11)
Multiply both of those all the way through to get new equations:
-80x - 24y = -144
21x +24y = -33
Now the y's cancel each other out leaving only the x's:
-59x = -177 and x = 3. Now plug that 3 into either one of the original equations to find the y value. Either equation will work; you'll get the same answer using either one. Promise. -7(3) - 8y = 11 gives a y value of -4. so your solution is (3, -4) or B above.
Just by the language difference means subtract,
Y^2-25 is the difference of squares
factored it's the sum and difference of their square roots
(x+5) (x-5)
