The question says :Mrs Henley built a cage for her bird .

The bottom of the cage Mrs Henley build has to be covered by a newspaper.

To cover the bottom by newspaper we need to find the area of bottom.

The formula to find the area of bottom is length x width.

The dimensions of the bottom is given as

Area of bottom =

The area that needs to be covered is square yards.

i'm sure goog can you get that answer

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
