In order to solve this problem, we transform the statements into
algebraic expressions. First, we assign the variables.
Let:
x = Gina’s number
y = Sara’s number
For the first equation, we show that Gina’s number is greater
than Sara’s number by 2. For the second equation, we show that the sum of both
numbers is 68.
<span>(1)
</span>x – y = 2
<span>(2)
</span>x + y = 68
<span>We
add the two expressions, which result in the expression: 2x = 70. Then we
divide 70 by 2 to get the value of x. We then have x = 35. Using the second
equation, we solve for y = 68-35. This gives y = 33. To summarize, Gina’s
number is 35 while Sara’s number is 33.</span>

Hello!
To solve this, lets put it into a system of equations where w=width and L=length.
2w+2L=80
L-8=w
To solve, we see that w=L-8. We can substitute this in the first equation to find L and then w.
2(L-8)+2L=80
2L-16+2L=80
4L-16+80
4L-16=80
4L=96
L=24
Now that we know L=24, we can find w. 24-8=16. Now we know that L=24 and w=16.
Lets check our answer. In our original system of equations, we have 48+32=80, which is true, and 24-8=16. Also, the perimeter must equal 80. 16+16+24+24=80.
As our final answer, the width of the pool is 16 feet, and the length is 24 feet.
Hope this helps!
