Question 1166080
L, length
w, width


First sentence, {{{L=w/2-2}}}


Second sentence, {{{4L=2(L+w)-8}}}


Maybe you can do the rest on your own.



---

First Sentence equation {{{2L=w-4}}}
{{{2L-w=-4}}}


Second Sentence equation {{{4L=2L+2w-8}}}
{{{3L=2w-8}}}
{{{3L-2w=-8}}}


Revised System:  {{{system(2L-w=-4,3L-2w=-8)}}}

One way to go from here, is multiply first equation by 2, and subtract the "first" from "second".


{{{system(4L-2w=-8,3L-2w=-8)}}}
{{{L=0}}}-----------------------makes no sense.
