Answer:
W = 6
L = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
2L + 2W = 84
L = 6W
Substitute for L in the first equation
2 (6W) + 2W = 84
12W + 2W = 84
14W = 84
W = 6
Substitute W in the first equation
2L + 2(6) = 84
2L + 12 = 84
2L = 72
L = 36
Plug both values in both equations to be sure
2(36) + 2(6) = 84
36 = 6 * 6
Hope that helps!
