-6
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute x for y-1
2(y-1)-y=6 distribute
2y-2-y=6 subtract y in 2y
y-2=6 add 2 to get y by itself
y=8
Put y back into equation x=y-1
x=8-1
X=7
There will be two squares.
Think about it: The shorter side is 3.5 feet. The longer side is 7 feet. If he cuts it in half on the longer side, he's taking the length of that longer side, and dividing it by 2. 7/2=3.5.
So, you'd have two squares, both with a length and width of 3.5 feet.
