Answer:

L = 22

W = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 2W = 76

L = W + 6

Substitute for L in the first equation

2 (W + 6) + 2W = 76

2W + 12 + 2W = 76

4W = 64

W = 16

Plug W in the second equation to find L

L = W + 6

L = 16 + 6

L = 22

Plug both answers in the first equation to check

First equation =2(22) + 2(16) = 76

Second equation = 22 = 16 + 6

Hope that helps!
