2(3x+4y) = 2(24)
6x+8y = 48
Add both the equations
6x + 8y = 48
+ x - 8y = -20
—————————
7x = 28
x = 28/7
x = 4

Plug in this value in the second equation

(4) - 8y = -20
-8y = -24
y = -24/-8
y = 3

Therefore:
x = 4
y = 3

Helen's house is located on a rectangular lot that is1 1-8 miles by 9/10 mile.Estimate the distance around the lot

klemol [59]

Answer: The distance around the lot is given by

$4\frac{1}{20}\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of rectangular lot is given by

$1\frac{1}{8}\\\\=\frac{9}{8}\ miles$

Width of rectangular lot is given by

$\frac{9}{10}\ mile$

We need to find the distance around the lot.

As we know the formula for "Perimeter of rectangle":

$Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\\\Perimeter=2(\frac{9}{8}+\frac{9}{10})\\\\Perimeter=2(\frac{45+36}{40})\\\\Perimeter=2\times \frac{81}{40}\\\\Perimeter=\frac{81}{20}\\\\Perimeter=4\frac{1}{20}\ miles$
