First they lost 1 yard which would be written as -1

Next they let 2 yards which is written as -2

Now add them together: -1 + -2 = -3

A rectangular carpet is x+5 feet wide and 3x-2 feet long what is the area in square feet of the carpet in terms of x

siniylev [52]

Formula for area:
Area = Wide x Length

Wide: x + 5
Long: 3x - 2

Area = (x + 5) x (3x - 2)
Area = 3x² - 2x + 15x - 10
Area = (3x² + 13x - 10) square feet

A) I included a graph, look below.

B)

Input the y in x = y + 3.

x = (-4x - 3) + 3
x = -4x + 0
Add 4x to both sides.
5x = 0
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 0

Input that x value in y = -4x - 3

y = -4(0) - 3
y = 0 - 3
y = -3

(0, -3)

C)

Convert both equations to Standard Form.

x = y + 3
Subtract y from both sides.
x - y = 3

y = -4x - 3
Add 4x to both sides.
4x + y = -3

Add the equations together.

4x + y = -3
x - y = 3
equals
5x = 0
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 0

Input that into one of the original equations.

0 = y + 3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3 = y

(0, -3)
