Question 922368: You are given a picture of a rectangle
This rectangle has 4 equations, 1 for each side. The equations are below
Left Side: x+y+3
Right Side: 2x-y+6
Top: 2x+3y+5
Bottom: 3x-y+16
You need to get these formulas into 2 formulas that can be done using elimination. You then need to find out the Y and X for the question.
This help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

     .

Rectangle: Opposite Sides are equal

x+y+3 = 2x-y + 6



.......

2x + 3y + 5 = 3x-y + 16



......

-(x-2y = -3)

x - 4y = -11

-2y = -8

y = 4   and x = 5  

And........ checking

x+y+3 = 2x-y + 6

12 = 12

2x + 3y + 5 = 3x-y + 16

27 = 27
