Answer:
L +T = 8
2L -T = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, L = lions, and T = Tigress
"total of 8 lions and tigers" → L+T = 8
"The number of tigers is one less than twice the number of lions."→
T = -1 + 2L
T= -1 +2L , subtract T and add 1 to both sides
T-T +1 = -1+1 +2L -T, combine like terms
1 = 2L -T
System of equations that represents the number of lions and tigers.
L +T = 8
2L -T = 1
