The right answer is: <em>The binomial expression 2w + 6 represents the length of the fish tank.</em>
Dylan has a fish tank, so we assume that this tank is a cube. In this way, the volume of the tank is given by this expression:
Where:
h: height
w: width
l: length
We know the following things:
FIRST.<em> He knows its height, h, is one inch less than twice the width, w.</em>
This can be expressed as the following equation:
SECOND. <em>The length, l, of the fish tank is seven inches longer than the height.</em>
We can express this statement as follows:
By substituting in
:
