The sum of the perimeters of two different squares is 32 centimeters, and the difference between their perimeters is 8 centimeters. If x represents the side length of the larger square and y represents the side length of the smaller square, which of the following graphs shows the system of equations that could be used to find the dimensions of the squares? https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/KqKsGJCRS0iKW1WrcE1UHOvNwWuL_YNkasLdScU7Qwj-VLBHok_qmSqnjLA3DExzaMbd2Tn7Y9413RstDp3xNWXcCQ8D8JmWE5i82zhDFKLNaHbTDVKicIOcFQ https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/95bGhO-P6kyUqCZ6pIJ9GgyyqMlUzTURbwbDhiK4zdeYzmgn

the side of first square=x and side of second square=y 4x+4y=32 x+y=8 4x-4y=8 x-y=2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so now just you need to solve this system for x and y x+y=8 x-y=2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you can ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

x+y=8 x-y=2 ------------- assum term by term 2x 0 = 10 2x =10 x = ?
