Answer:

Rewrite the first equation as x = 36 – 3y.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 36 (1)

4x + 5y = 9 (2)

Using substitution method

From (1)

x = 36 - 3y

Substitute x = 36 - 3y into (2)

4x + 5y = 9

4(36 - 3y) + 5y = 9

144 - 12y + 5y = 9

- 12y + 5y = 9 - 144

-7y = -135

y = -135 / -7

y = 19.3

There is an error with the second equation, 4x + 5y can not be equal to 9

Nevertheless, the first step when solving by substitution is:

Rewrite the first equation as

x = 36 – 3y.

Good morning☕️

______

Answer:

w is the width

L is the length

p is the perimeter

w=9

L=27

___________________

Step-by-step explanation:

p=2[(L-4) + (w+1)]

⇔p=2[(3w-4) + (w+1)]

⇔p=2[4w-3]

⇔p=8w-6

⇔66=8w-6

⇔8w=72

⇔w=9

Then L=3w=27
