Question

5 less than twice the length equals 11 as an algebraic equation

Answer 1

Answer: 2*L - 5 = 11

Explanation:

Suppose that we have a rectangle with length L and width W.

Now we know that:

" 5 less than twice the length equals 11"

Then we get:

"twice the length" is written as 2*L

5 less than that is:

2*L - 5

And this is equal to 11, then:

2*L - 5 = 11

This is the algebraic equation we wanted to find,
