The rectangular top of a small box has dimensions of 140 mm by 230 mm. How long (in centimeters) would a ribbon need to be to go all the way around the edge of the top of the box?

A.) 740 cm
B.) 74 cm
c.) 37 cm
D.) 7,400 cm

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

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.
