Answer 2

There are two main methods that you can use while solving systems of equations: substitution and elimination. One is preferred than the other depending on what equations you are given (check this forum out: https://www.wyzant.com/resources/answers/2997/how_do_you_figure_out_how_to_determine_the_best_method_to_solve_the_system_of_equations_then_sole_the_system).

With the equations
\(\large 2 + W = L\)
\(\large 2W + 2L = 24\)
what we know is what \(\large L\) is equal to (\(\large 2 + W\)). With this information, we can substitute this value into where \(\large L\) is in the second equation.

Now it becomes \(\large 2W + 2(2 + W) = 24\). In this way, we will be able to solve for \(\large W\) and then use that value of \(\large W\) to solve for \(\large L\).

@MeowRoar Do you understand the approach?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

And that method was just substitution.
