What is the value of y?
What is the area, in square inches, of the rectangle

Answer:
Part A: y = 3
Part B: Area = 60 sq units
Step-by-step explanation:
we can create this system of equations from the information given:
8y + 2x = 34
10y + 2x = 40
now we can subtract to get:
-2y = -6
y = 3
solve for 'x':
8(3) + 2x = 34
24 + 2x = 34
2x = 10
x = 5
Area of Rectangle is 12 x 5
