Let x= original number
equation: 2x+24=2/7 x
move 2x over to the other side of the equation to get 24=-12/7 x. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by -7/12 to isolate the variable.
The final answer should be x=-14
Answer is 10 because I just took the test
Area is the length times the width.
When you know the area and one of the dimensions, divide the area by the known dimension to find the other one.
133 / 11 = 12.09
The room needs to be at least 12.09 feet wide. ( round answer if needed).
