Question

Please helppp!!! Lasandra wants to center a towel bar on her door that is 29 inches wide she determines that the distance from each end of the towel bar to the end of the door is 7.75 inches write and solve an equation to find the length of the towel bar

Answer 1

Answer: 13.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of the towel bar.

Since, the towel bar's ends from each end of the door are 7.75 each,

Thus, the width of the door = x + 7.75 + 7.75 = x + 15.5

But, According to the question,

The width of the door = 29 inches,

Therefore, x + 15.5 = 29

⇒ x = 13.5 inches
