Answer:
x=(3)/(2) , y=2

Explanation:

Since this is a square, both sides are the same length. s × s = s² = area. This means that √area = s (the side length has to be positive since we are dealing with distance).


√(100cm^2) = 10cm

Now that we know the side length, we can set each equation to equal 10. Let's start with the top equation.


4(3x-2)=10

Distribute the 4 to (3x-2)


12x-8=10

Add 8 to both sides


12x=18

Divide both sides by 12


x=(18)/(12)

Simplify


x=(3)/(2)

To find y, we can set the second equation to equal 10.


8x-y=10

Since we are now looking for the y-value, we will isolate the y-variable from the rest of the equation. First, add y to both sides


8x=10+y

Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the y-variable


8x-10=y

Since we already know what the value of x is, we can replace x with
(3)/(2)


8((3)/(2) )-10=y


(24)/(2) -10=y

Simplify
(24)/(2) to 12


12-10 =y

Subtract 10 from 12


y=2

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that area of square = side *side

In this figure, the sides must be equal.

s1 = 4(3x-2)

s2 = 8x -y

But s1 = s2

  • 12x -8 = 8x -y
  • 4x = 8-y
  • 4x +y = 8..(1)
  • y = 8-4x..(a)

Similarly according to the question area = 100cm squared

Considering side to be 8x - y,

  • s^2 = 100
  • (8x - y)^2 = 100

On taking square root on both sides,

  • 8x - y = 10
  • 8x -10 = y ..(2)

Since y = y,(From (a) and(2))

  • 8 -4x = 8x -10
  • 18 = 12x
  • x = 18/12 = 3/2

Putting 3/2 in eqn 1,

  • 4(3/2) + y = 8
  • 2*3 + y = 8
  • y = 2
