Answer:

x = 23, and y = 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say,

x = width

y = length

this means,

x(2) + y(2) = 100

It also says that the width is 4 meters less than the length.

if we put that into equation form it would look like this,

y - 4 = x

using these 2 equations, we can use the subustusion method to find the x.

x(2) + y(2) = 100

turns in to this :

step 1.     (y - 4) (2) + y(2) = 100 - given

step 2.      2y -8 + 2y = 100 -  distribute

step 3.      4y -8 = 100 - Combine like terms

step 4.       4y  = 108 - Get rid of the 8

step 5        4y/4  = 108 /4 - divide

step 6 .          y = 27

So if y is 27, then

x(2)  +  27(2) = 100

x(2) + 54 = 100

100 - 54 = 46, so x(2) is 46, but to get x, we need to divide 46 by 2, since x multiplied by 2 equals 46.

46  / 2 = 23 = x

so x = 23, and y = 27.

and the rule that y - 4 = x still applies, since 27 - 4 = 23.

I hope this wasn't confusing! It did take a long time tho.

Solve the following absolute value equation.<br><br> −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14
Levart [38]

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

8. complementary angles = 90°
3x+3+10x-4 = 90
13x-1 = 90
13x = 91
so x = 91/13= 7
then K = 3(7)+3 = 24°
so L = 10(7)-4 = 70-4 = 66°

9. P is three less than twice of Q
so P = 2Q-3
supplementary angles = 180°

P+Q = 180
(2Q-3)+Q = 180
3Q-3 = 180
3Q = 183
so Q = 183/3 = 61°
then P= 2(61)-3 = 122-3 = 119°

10. B is two more than three times of C so B= 3C+2
complementary angles = 90°

B+C= 90
(3C+2)+C=90
4C+2=90
4C= 88
so C= 22°
then B = 3(22)+2= 66+2 = 68°
