Substitution is best to use one one or both equations is already solved for one of the variables. Elimitation can be use if all variables have a coefficient other than 1.
You are basically just adding, so combine like terms.
3x^2 + 5x^2 = 8x^2
6x - 2x = 4x
4 - 8 = -4
So the answer is D.
The perimeter:
40+35+16+16+125.7= 232.7 m
btw lowkey frustrating that they alternate between cm and m
Your answer is gonna be C
