Question

A shop sells posters in different sizes. The height (h) and width (w) of each poster are linked by the formula h=2.5w -5 What is the width of a poster that is 10 cm high?

Answer 1

Answer: 6 cm

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to substitute h=10 (height) in the formula given:

h=2.5w -5

Replacing:

10= 2.5w-5

Solving for w (width)

10+5=2.5w

15 =2.5w

15/2.5=w

w =6 cm

In conclusion, the width of a poster that is 10 cm high is 6 cm.
