The area of a square or a rectangle (which is the shape of any room in a house) is:
Area = width x length
So, in this case:
Area = 51 m x 26 m = 1326 Sq meters. Which is pretty big if you ask me.
Anyhow, Ms Melcher needs to buy 1326 sq meters
Priya makes 9.8 an hour so that means that Siobhan makes 9.31 the hour
The two linear equations in two variable is:
12 x + 3 y = 40
7 x - 4 y = 38
(a) For a system of equations in two Variable
a x + by = c
p x + q y = r
It will have unique solution , when

As, you can see that in the two equation Provided above

So, we can say the system of equation given here has unique solution.
(b). If point (2.5, -3.4) satisfies both the equations, then it will be solution of the system of equation, otherwise not.
1. 12 x+3 y=40
2. 7 x-4 y=38
Substituting , x= 2.5 , and y= -3.4 in equation (1) and (2),
L.H.S of Equation (1)= 1 2 × 2.5 + 3 × (-3.4)
= 30 -10.20
= 19.80≠ R.H.S that is 40.
Similarly, L H S of equation (2)= 7 × (2.5) - 4 × (-3.4)
= 17.5 +13.6
= 31.1≠R HS that is 38
So, you can Write with 100 % confidence that point (2.5, -3.4) is not a solution of this system of the equation.
