I hope this helps you
x-y=-2 y=x+2
2x+y=8
2x+x+2=8
3x=8-2
3x=6
x=2
y=x+2 y=2+2 y=4
So these are our two equations:
Before we can use elimination, subtract y on both sides of the first equation:
Now we are able to use elimination. To eliminate the y variable, add the two equations together to get . From here we can solve for x.
For this, just divide both sides by 3 and your first answer will be
Now that we have the value of x, substitute it into either equation to solve for y:
<u>In short, x = 3 and y = 6.</u>
17-8 and 16-7 then use those to find the separate perimeters and add them up
