Answer:
x = 48 and y = 104
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are:

From equation 1:

Putting the value of y in equation 2

Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x
Putting y = 104 in the first equation

Hence,
The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104
The value of variable which was assumed for number of hats, is the total number of hats.
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
44-20=24
24/4=8
Perimeter = (2x -3y) + (x² + 7) + (2x + y)
Perimeter = 2x -3y + x² + 7 + 2x + y
Perimeter = x² + 4x - 2y + 7
------------------------------------
Answer: x² + 4x - 2y + 7
