Question

The height of a window is 0.6 feet less than 2.5 times its width. If the height of the window is 4.9 feet, which equation can be used to determine x, the width of the window?

Answer 1

The CORRECT answer is 2.5x - 0.6 = 4.9

Answer 2

x = width of window

2.5x - 0.6 = 4.9

Solve -

2.5x -0.6 + 0.6 = 4.9 + 0.6

2.5x = 5.5

2.5x ÷ 2.5 = 5.5 ÷ 2.5

x = 2.2
