A rectangle has a length of 28 feet less than 6 times its width. if the area of the rectangle is 98 square feet, find the length of the rectangle.

w = 18 is the solution

The equation for this problem is 6w - 28 + w = 98

w stands for width

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 28 = 98 Collect like terms

7w = 98 +28 Move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign

7w = 126 Add the numbers

w = 18 Divide both sides of the equation by 7

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
