Answer: x = -2, y = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
solve for x first in the equation -2x+3=7
-2x+3=7
-2x = 4
x = -2
now plug that x value into the other equation so we can find y
3x+1 = 5+y
3(-2)+1 = 5+y
-6+1 = 5+y
-5=5+y
-10 = y
Sides are x,x,b
x is identical side
x is bigger than 3 times b by 2
x=3b+2
p=x+x+b
60=2x+b
x=3b+2
60=2(3b+2)+b
60=6b+4+b
60=7b+4
minus 4 both sides
56=7b
divide both sides by 7
8=b
sub back
x=3b+2
x=3(8)+2
x=24+2
x=26
legnths are
26in, 26in, 8in
