Question

112 equals 2 times the length minus 5

Answer 1

`\Large \boxed{l = (117)/(2)}`

Explanation:

Let the length be
`l`.

`112 = 2 l - 5`

Adding 5 to both sides.

`112 +5= 2 l - 5+5`

`117 = 2 l`

Dividing both sides by 2.

`\displaystyle (117)/(2) = (2 l)/(2)`

`\displaystyle (117)/(2) = l`

Answer 2

l = 58.5

Explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step 1: Write out equation

112 = 2l - 5

Step 2: Isolate term l by adding 5 on both sides

117 = 2l

Step 3: Isolate l by dividing both sides by 2

117/2 = l

Step 4: Evaluate

l = 58.5
