Let the length be x and the width be x - 3
Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(x + x - 3) = 54
2x + 2(x - 3) = 54

X-2y=0 ,x²-y²=3<br>by step

masya89 [10]

Answer:

x=2, y=1

x=-2, y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = 0

x = 2y

x² - y² = 3

(2y)² - y² = 3

3y² = 3

y² = 1

y = 1 or y = - 1

x = 2 or x = -2
