Question

A rectangular parking lot has a length that is 6 feet less than twice the wideth. If the area of the parking lot is 216 square feet what are the parking lots dimensions?

Answer 1

Let L be the length, and W be the width.

Things we know:
L = 2W - 6
Area = L×W = 216

Answer 2

To solve, replace L in the second equation with the value of L from the first equation.

Answer 3

huh

Answer 4

(2W-6)×W=216, you can find W.

Once you have W, you can find L

Answer 5

How am I suppose to find W?

Answer 6

Solve the equation
(2W-6)×W=216 for W
