X^2-y^2=55
this means that 
(x+y)(x-y)=55
we know that x-y=11 so we can write
(x+y)(11)=55
x+y=55/11 we divide by 11 and we obtain 
x+y=5

x-y=11 this means
x=y+11 we replace in the other equation (x+y=5)

y+11+y=5
2y=5-11
2y=-6
y=-3
and you find out that also 
x=8

The length of a rectangular garden is three feet less than twice it’s width. If the perimeter of the garden is 42 feet, what is
zzz [600]
<h3><u>The length is equal to 13.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 8.</u></h3>

l = 2w - 3

2l + 2w = 42

Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.

2(2w - 3) + 2w = 42

Distributive property.

4w - 6 + 2w = 42

Combine like terms.

6w - 6 = 42

Add 6 to both sides.

6w = 48

Divide both sides by 6.

w = 8

Now that we have a value for w, we can solve for the exact value of l.

l = 2(8) - 3

l = 16 - 3

l = 13
