Answer:D.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
[1] 2x + y = -1
[2] x - 2y = -8 <------- given linear equations
Graphic Representation of the Equations : ----> given in attatchment
y + 2x = -1 -2y + x = -8 < ----- point where they connect is shown in graph
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] x = 2y - 8
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 2•(2y-8) + y = -1
[1] 5y = 15
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 5y = 15
[1] y = 3
// By now we know this much :
x = 2y-8
y = 3
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = 2(3)-8 = -2
Solution :
{x,y} = {-2,3}
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle can be calcualated with this formula:

Where "l" is the lenght and "h" is the height.
The area of a rectangle can be found with this formula:

Where "l" is the lenght and "h" is the height.
In this case we know that:

Therfore, we can susbsitute them into
and solve for "h" in order to find its value:

Find two number whose sum is 3 and whose product is -40. These are -5 and 8. Then, factorizing, we get:

The positive value is the height. Then:

Since the length is 3 centimeters greater than its height, we get that this is: Then:

Substituting values into
, we get that the perimeter is:

Answer:
x=11 (read below)
Step-by-step explanation:
7 + x = 18
<em>Subtract 7 from both sides</em>
x=11
It's quite simple because if you do something to one side of the equation, you need to do it to the other because otherwise the equation won't be equal. This is how you need to simplify most problems, by taking something from one side and taking from the other as well.
