    The document describes solving a system of equations to find the length of a body (b) and tail (t) of an animal. It sets up two equations relating b and t, subtracts them to eliminate b, then solves for t and substitutes back into one of the original equations to find b. The lengths are found to be b = 44 and t = 33.

    Let the length of the body be b and the length of the tail be t.

    Then we know that

    b
    11 + 2
    =t [1]

    11 + t = b [2]

    [2] − [1]
    b
    t− 2 =b−t
    3b
    2t = 2

    4t = 3b

    Substituting in 3[2]

    33 + 3t = 4t

    t = 33

    Substituting in [2]

    b = 44
