4x-y ,4x+3,3x+1,x+6y find x and y and the are of the rectangle
if those are the lengths of the adjacent sides, then
4x-y = 4x+3
3x+1 = x+6y
That gives x = -19/2 and y = -3
So maybe you can clarify just what those expressions really mean
To find the values of x and y in the given equations, you can set the equations equal to each other and solve for the variables.
1. 4x - y = 4x + 3 ---(Equation 1)
2. 4x + 3 = 3x + 1 ---(Equation 2)
3. 3x + 1 = x + 6y ---(Equation 3)
First, let's solve Equation 2 for x:
2. 4x + 3 = 3x + 1
We want to isolate x, so subtract 3x from both sides:
x + 3 = 1
Next, subtract 3 from both sides to solve for x:
x = -2
Now that we have the value of x, let's substitute it into the other equations to find y. Let's start with Equation 1:
1. 4x - y = 4x + 3
Substitute x = -2:
4(-2) - y = 4(-2) + 3
Simplifying:
-8 - y = -8 + 3
Combine like terms:
-y = -5
Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for y:
y = 5
Now that we have found the values of x and y, we can calculate the area of the rectangle using the length and width:
Length = 3x + 1
Width = x + 6y
Substituting the values:
Length = 3(-2) + 1 = -5
Width = (-2) + 6(5) = 28
Area of the rectangle = Length × Width
Area of the rectangle = (-5) × 28 = -140
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is -140.
To find the values of x and y, we need to solve the system of equations created by the given expressions.
Let's begin by setting up the equations using the given expressions:
Equation 1: 4x - y = 4x + 3
Equation 2: 3x + 1 = x + 6y
To solve Equation 1, we can subtract 4x from both sides to get rid of the x term:
- y = 3
From this equation, we can see that y = -3.
Now, we can substitute the value of y = -3 into Equation 2 to solve for x:
3x + 1 = x + 6(-3)
3x + 1 = x - 18
Next, let's isolate the x term by subtracting x from both sides:
3x - x = -18 - 1
2x = -19
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:
x = -19/2 or -9.5
Therefore, the values of x and y are x = -9.5 and y = -3, respectively.
To find the area of the rectangle, we need the length and width of the rectangle. Looking at the given expressions, it is not clear which one represents the length and which represents the width. However, we can assume that the expressions 4x - y and 4x + 3 represent the length and width (or vice versa).
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 4x - y = 4(-9.5) - (-3) = -38 - (-3) = -38 + 3 = -35, and the width is 4x + 3 = 4(-9.5) + 3 = -38 + 3 = -35.
Now, we can find the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length and width:
Area = Length x Width = (-35) x (-35) = 1225 square units.
So, the area of the rectangle is 1225 square units.
