Answer:
a = 15
b = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to solve the system of linear equations
Firstly, let us multiply the first equation through by 10
2a - 5b = 100 ••••(i)
from the second equation;
a = 29 + b
Substitute this into i
2(29 + b) - 5b = 100
58 + 2b -5b = 100
-3b = 100-58
3b = 42
-b = 42/3
-b = 14
recall;
a - b = 29
a - (-14) = 29
a + 14 = 29
a = 29-14 = 15
No 95 is not a perfect square because nothing times it self equals 95
The width is w. the length is 2w - 4. to find area we would multiply these two together: w(2w - 4) & make sure to distribute the w to the 2w AND the -4. so the answer to this question would be 2w^2 - 4w (c). hope this helps!
Make a proportion:
5/15=1/x
Cross multiply:
15=5x
Divide both sides by 5
x=3
