Question

Lisa’s rectangular living room is 19 feet wide if the length is 3 feet less than twice the width what is the area of her living room

Answer 1

665 ft^2

Explanation:

since the length is 3 less than TWICE the width (19) then we can make this equation:

L = 2(19) - 3

this gives us:

L = 38 -3 = 35

so the L is 35. now we multiply the width and the length which is 19 x 35 which gives us 665 ft^2
