Draw the graphs of the pair of linear equations : x + 2y = 5 and 2x - 3y = -4 Also find the points where the lines meet the x - axis .

(1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of the lines x + 2y = 5 and 2x - 3y = -4

First we need to make x the subject of the formulas

For x+2y = 5

x = 5 - 2y ... 1

For 2x - 3y = -4

2x = -4+3y

x = (-4+3y)/2 ... 2

Equate 1 and 2

5 - 2y =  (-4+3y)/2

2(5-2y) = -4+3y

10 - 4y = -4+3y

-4 -3y = -4-10

-7y = -14

y = 14/7

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into 1

x = 5 = 2y

x = 5 - 2(2)

x = 5 - 4

x = 1

Hence the point where the lines meet will be at (1, 2)

negitive slope

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
