Question

2(length)(width)+2(length)(height)+2(width)(height)

Length=4 meters and height=3 meters

If the area is 164 meters, what is the width?

Answer 1

May I help?

Answer 2

do 164 divided by (4 x 3) to get the answer.

Answer 3

I did, that isn't the right answer.

Answer 4

2(4)(width)+2(4)(3)+2(width)(3)=164.

Answer 5

That is as far as I got in getting the help I need.

Answer 6

Can I?

Answer 7

@3mar sure, this is open to anyone.

Answer 8

I know but I need your attention!

Answer 9

Oh course. I am all eyes and ears.

Answer 10

"2(4)(width)+2(4)(3)+2(width)(3)=164."

this is what you got, right?

Answer 11

Yes.

Answer 12

Good!
Next: more simplification would be carried out:
2(4)(width)+2(4)(3)+2(width)(3)=164.
2*4=8
8(width)+2(4)(3)+2(width)(3)=164.
2*3*4=24
8(width)+24+2(width)(3)=164.
2*3=6
8(width)+24+6(width)=164.

then add similar terms together:
8 width + 6 width = 14 width
14(width)+24=164.

164-24=140

14(width)=140
width=140/14=10

Done!


Hope that helps

Answer 13

Why did you multiply by 4?

Answer 14

where?

Answer 15

2*3*4=24
