I need help with this please

What is the perimeter, p, of a rectangle that has a length of x + 8 and a width of y − 1? p = 2x + 2y + 18 p = 2x + 2y + 14 p = x + y − 9 p = x + y + 7

How do you use the elimination method for this question? explain, because i really want to understand!

Sundar used linear combination to solve the system of equations shown. he did so by multiplying the first equation by 5 and the second equation by another number to eliminate the y-terms. what number did sundar multiply the second equation by? 2x+9y=41 3x+5y=36
