x = 3y
2x + 2y = 80
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form:
---
x - 3y = 0
2x + 2y = 80
---
copy and paste the above linear system in standard form into this matrix-method solver:

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start by making an equation for perimeter.
now we know that the length is equal to 3 times the width, l=3w, and that width just equals width, w=w.
now since i=3w, we can replace all l's with 3w.
since w is the width, the width is 10 cm.
