Answer:

width = 6

length = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2L + 2W

L = W - 2

plug in perimeter:

20 = 2L + 2W

you know the length is 2 less than the width

plug in (w - 2) for L:

20 = 2(w - 2) + 2w

solve for w:

20 = 2w - 4 + 2w

20 = 4w - 4

4w = 24

w = 6

now plug in 6 for w in either equation, whichever is easier to solve:

L = 6 - 2

L = 4

width = 6

length = 4

Solve each pair of simulation equation.Giving both solutions. Multiply both equations by suitable numbers before adding/subtract
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I haven't got time to do all these by I'll give you the method in each case.

You have to make the x or y term equal (or 1 term + and other -) in both equations before adding or subtracting.

A . Multiply  equation 2 by 2 and subtract (to eliminate x)

- don't forget to multiply EACH TERM by 2.

B. Multiply  equation 2 by -2 and add.

C.  Multiply  equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2 ( this will give -6y and +6y in the resulting equations ) so  you then add to eliminate y.

D.  Multiply equation 1 by 13 and equation  and equation 2 by 2 to eliminate x then add.
