Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 256
"8 feet longer than it is wide"
translates to
L = 8 + W
we plug that into the first equation and get
2(8 + W) + 2W = 256
now we solve for W
distribute the 2
16 + 2W + 2W = 256
add like terms
16 + 4W = 256
subtract 16 from both sides
4W = 240
divide both sides by 4
W = 60
plug that into
L = 8 + W
and solve for L now
L = 8 + 60
so
L = 68
therefore your
length = 68
and
width = 60
Answer:
y int (0, 13)
x int (-13/6,0)
just make the x = 0 and solve to get y
same with the x make y =0 and solve
Step 1.) Multiply both sides of the equation by -6
step 2.) Sum the equations vertically to eliminate at least one variable
step 3.) Divide both sides of the equation by
step 4.) Substitute the given value of into the equation x - 2y = 10
step 5.) Solve the equation for x
step 6.) The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair (x , y)
step 7.) Check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equations
step 8.) Simplify the equalities
step 9.) Since all of the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system
So your answer would end up being (40/13 , -45/13) !! Hope that helps you out :D !!
