We are given a relationship between the sides of a rectangle, that is, the length of one of its sides is 5 less two times its width, and we are asked to find an expression for the area. Let's remember that the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its side by its width. Let "w" be the length of the rectangle and "L" its lenght, then the area is given by the following formula:

We can use the relationship given in the problem, that is, its length being five less two times its width, that is:

Replacing in the formula for the area we get:

Now we use the distributive law:
First set it up like this:

<span>then add a zero on to the 18 and a decimal point like this: </span>

then solve for 180/32 and add a decimal in the same location that it is in the 18.0 Hope this helps!
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.
Step 3: Subtract 16 from both sides.
Step 4: Divide both sides by 9.
The change is elevation is 98 feet
-127 -(-225)=98
