100deciliters equals 10 liters
We can say L as length and W as the width
L= 3w + 8
The formula for perimeter is 2L + 2W = P. We can substitute L in as "3w+8" to make the equation...
2(3w+8)+2w=88 Now, we can simplify by distributing the 2 to each term
6w+16+2w=88
8w+16=88 Then subtract 16 from each side..
8w=72
w=9
So the width is 9, so we can substitue that into the previous equation, L = 3w+8.
L=3(9)+8
L=27+8
L=35, W=9
First solve one of the two equations (whichever is easier) for either x or y, whichever variable is easier. Let's say you solved for x. Then plug what x equals into the 2nd equation as x. So if you got x = 2y + 1, plug that into your other equation and solve for y (you should get a number value).
Now take whatever y equals and plug that back into what you got when you solved for x (the x = 2y + 1) to get what x equals.
