Substitute y = -x into the first equation:
-8x - 7(-x) = -5
-8x + 7x = -5
-x = -5
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into y = -x
y = -(5)
y = -5
Answer: x = 5, y = -5
GMC Answer : 3 because of there
Honestly i just wanted to try this question since ive never seen it but i dont rlly know if i did it right at all
I equaled GH, HI, and GI together to get y
which i got y=-2
and what i got next i feel is off since
GH, HI, and GI all equaled -11
if you kind of know how to do the question maube you could correct me from there but otherwise dont take my word for it completely
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
