Answer:
x = 5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
width = x
length = (x + 8)
length that overlaps with width = (x + 8) - x = 8
perimeter (clockwise)
= 90
= x + 8 + (x + 8) + x + (x + 8) + x + 8 + (x + 8) + x + (x + 8)
= 8x + 6(8)
= 8x + 48
8x + 48 = 90
8x = 42
x = 5.25
2y + x = -6
y = -2x + 0
We can substitute the second equation into the first one.
2y + x = -6
2(-2x + 0) + x = -6
-4x + x = -6
-3x = -6
Divide -3 on both sides.
x = 2
Now, plug x = 2 into any equation and solve for y.
y = -2x + 0
y = -2(2) + 0
y = -4
The solution to the system of equations is (2,-4).

Answer:
7x + 2y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the slope of the line.
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) ----> (11 - (-3))/((-3) -1) ----> (11+3)/ (-3 -1) ----> 14/-4
*lets simplify into (7/-2)*
2. Write into slope intercept form.
y=mx+b (m is the slope) (b is the y intercept)
y = (7/-2)x + b
We now need to find the value of b, this can be done by plugging in values of x and y, and using algebra to solve.
11 = (7/-2)(-3) + b
11 = 10.5 + b
b = 0.5 or 1/2
slope intercept form y = (7/-2)x + 1/2
Now we convert to standard form: ax+by=c
*In this form we our a term cannot be a fraction nor can it be negative*
1. Get x and y on the same side, and since our x term is negative right now, we can make it positive by adding it on both sides.
(7/2)x + y = 1/2
2. We now want to get rid of the fraction in term a, so we multiply the entire function by two, so the denominator cancels out.
2(7/2)x + 2y = 2(1/2)
Simplify and you get
7x + 2y = 1
