Algebra.Com's Answer #533657 by josgarithmetic(39617)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! List what you know: \n" ); document.write( "2x+2y=84; y=6; If A is area, xy=A.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter equation uses even coefficients and constant, so is easily simplified to x+y=42, and an assignment given as y=6, substitutable into the perimeter equation as x+6=42 rendering x=36.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now , you know dimensions x=36 and y=6, so you can computer area A. \n" ); document.write( " |
