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

Answer:
The drama club bought 35 t-shirt
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
t-shirt = x
Sweatshirt = y
Total cost = $795
They purchase 20 more tshirts than sweatshirts
x = y + 20
The equation is:
12x + 25y = 795
12(y + 20) + 25y = 795
12y + 240 + 25y = 795
37y = 795 - 240
37y = 555
y = 15
Substitute y = 15 into
x = y + 20
x = 15 + 20
x = 35
t-shirt = 35
Sweatshirt = 15
The drama club bought 35 t-shirt
