Answer:
2l + 2w = 28
l - 6w = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The second equation is automatically l = 6w because the length is 6 times the width.
To form a system of linear equations, the variables in both equations must be the same. How do we express perimeter in terms of l (length) and w (width)?
Perimeter = 2l + 2w
28 = 2l + 2w
And that's your first equation.
Turn your second equation into standard form (x + y = b)
l = 6w
l - 6w = 0
