The length of a rectangular rug is 4 feet less than twice its width. the perimeter of the rug is 40 feet. write a system of equations that can be used to find the length, l, and width, w, of the rug, in feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

L=2W-4

40=2L+2W

The first equation uses the information that the length of a rectangular rug is 4 feet less than twice its width.

The second equation is using your standard perimeter equation of 2L+2W=perimeter of a rectangle.

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation

can you put the picture up?
