Question 951999: A certain gym floor has a perimeter of 286 feet. Its length is 47 feet greater than its width. Set up a system of two linear equations whose solution gives the length and width of the floor. Solve the system symbolically, graphically, and numerically.
X represents the length of the gym floor, and y represents the width of the court.
The linear equations I got were 2x+2y=286, x-y=47
