Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the lenght and y the height. The perimeter will be:

p = 2x + 2y = 10

When the lenght is halved and the height double we'll have:

p = x + 4y = 14

These 2 equations form a system of equations2 that can be solved and give as result:

y = 3

x = 2

Natasha_Volkova [10]
Let x be the number of 5 points question.
Let y be the number of 2 points question.

Total number of questions is 38
x + y = 38 

Total points is 100
5x + 2y = 100

x + y = 38 ------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 100 ---------(2)

From (1):
x + y = 38
x = 38 - y -------------- sub into (2)
5(38 - y) + 2y = 100
190 - 5y + 2y = 100
3y = 90
y = 30 ------------------ sub into (1)
x + 30 = 38
x = 38 - 30
x = 8
