system%28A=B%2CC=17%2BA%2CD=-37%2BB%2CA%2BB%2BC%2BD=180%29

That is the system. Do you need more help?
-Yes!-

Try to use the first equation to eliminate A.
system%28C=B%2B17%2CD=B-37%2CB%2BB%2BC%2BD=360%29
-
system%28C=B%2B17%2CD=B-37%2C2B%2BC%2BD=360%29,
and notice how two of these equations are in terms of just B...
substitute for them in the "360" equation:
highlight_green%282B%2B%28B%2B17%29%2B%28B-37%29=360%29
Work with this to solve for the value of B.
Do what you know you need to finish.
