Answer:
y =14
11x = 11*3.5 =38.5
3x+2y = 11x = 38.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all three sides
3x+2y + 11x+y = 91
Combine like terms
14x +3y = 91
The lines mean the sides are equal
3x+2y = 11x
Simplify
Subtract 3x from each side
3x-3x+2y = 11x-3x
2y = 8x
Divide by 2
2y/2 = 8x/2
y = 4x
Substitute 4x in the first equation every time you see y
14x +3y = 91
14x +3(4x) = 91
14x+12x=91
26x = 91
Divide by 26
26x/26 =91/26
x = 3.5
Now we can find y
y = 4x
y = 4(3.5)
y = 14
We know x and y we can find the length of each of the sides
y =14
11x = 11*3.5 =38.5
3x+2y = 11x = 38.5
