Lisa's living room is 16 feet wide. If the length is 7 feet less than twice the width, what is the area of her living room?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16x7

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1412637081273:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm then 2wx16-7 is how you set it up i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you do the -7 -7 thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah im trying to find a way to figure it out lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well first set it up like 2w x16-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think, so then it would look like 2w x26-7 -7 -7 2x= 19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it wont divide evenly but what kind of answer are you looking for like a decimal or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well are you looking for a decimal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
