Answer:

L +T = 8

2L -T = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, L = lions, and T = Tigress

"total of 8 lions and tigers" → L+T = 8

"The number of tigers is one less than twice the number of lions."→

                              T   =      -1             + 2L

        T= -1 +2L , subtract T and add 1 to both sides

T-T +1 = -1+1 +2L -T, combine like terms

        1 = 2L -T

System of equations that represents the number of lions and tigers.

L +T = 8

2L -T = 1
