Answer:

  length: y = 5

  width: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width:

  P = 2(L+W)

  18 = 2(y +x) . . . . . using the given values

The difference in dimensions can be expressed as ...

  y -x = 1

When the above two equations are graphed, we see the solution is ...

  (x, y) = (4, 5)
