The perimeter of a rectangular carpet is 34 feet. The length of the carpet is one foot shorter than twice the width a) Write and solve an equation to solve for the variable. b) Find the area of the carpet. please help

a.) 3x = 18 (where x = width)

b.) Area = 66 squared feet

Step-by-step explanation:

2{x + (2x-1)} = 34

3x - 1 = 17

x = 6 feet

length = 11 feet

Area = x (2x -1)

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
