Question

Jerry makes coffee tables to sell in a furniture shop. The length of each table is n+8 inches and the width is 1/2n - 4 inches. If n=42, what are the measurements of the length and width of each coffee table?

Answer 1

L=n+8=42+8=50
W=1/2n-4=21-4=17
The measurements are 50x17

Answer 2

Answer: L = 50 while W = 17

Explanation:

So, n=42

L = n + 8

L = 42 +8

L = 50

W = n/2 - 4

W = 42/2 - 4

W = 21 - 4

W = 17
