Answer:

7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length x width

A = 35

w= L - 2

L = w+ 2

Now it becomes

35 = ( w+2) x w

35 = w^2 + 2w

W^2 + 2w - 35 = 0

By Factorization we have

( w + 7)( w-5)

w = 5cm

Since L = w + 2, we have

L = 5 + 2

= 7cm

vivado [14]

Answer:

$x=3$

$y=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can subtract the first equation from the second to find the value of $y$ , although we can also do this vice versa.

$x-x=2y+1-y-2$

$y-1=0$

$y=1$

Now, we can use substitution to solve for $x$ :

$x = y+2$ (pick any equation for substitution)

$x=1+2$

$x=3$

Hope this helps :)
