Hi there!
In order to use the elimination method, you have to create one variable that has the same coefficient. This is to be able to eliminate one variable and have a one variable equation (which you can then solve).
In your case, we'll have the "x" have the same coefficient by multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 2 :
4( -2x + 3y = -4) → -8x + 12y = -16
2( 4x - 2y = 16) → 8x - 4y = 32
Now that both of your equation have a variable with the same coefficient, you need to choose rather you need to add or subtract the equations in order to get rid of the variable (in this case we want to get rid of the "x").
In your case, you want to add both equation together which will give you :
8y = 16
Now that you only have one variable, all you need to do now is solve the equation for "y" :
8y = 16
Divide each side of the equation by 8
y = 2 → Your answer
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
You have the correct steps and final answer. The area of the room is 196 square feet, so each side is sqrt(196) = 14. The perimeter is 14*4 = 56 feet. You'll need 6 boards (each 10 ft long) to get 60 ft total. You'll have 60-56 = 4 ft of board left over. This is assuming that there isn't any other type of waste or mistakes made in cutting.
Nice work on getting the correct steps and final answer.
