The equation you'd make would be (2x-2)+(2x-2)+x+x=20 because the length is 2 m less than the width (x). To simplify, it'd be 6x-4=20 because you combine like terms. You then move the -4 over to the 20 to make it 6x=24. The final answer is 4 meters.
Answer:
7 square inches hope this helps brainlest plzzz
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = - 11 .............( 1 )
y + 7 = - 2x ...............( 2 )
from equation ( 1 )
x - y = - 11
x = -11 + y ...........( 3)
putting x in equation ( 2 )
y + 7 = - 2 x
y + 7 = -2 ( -11 + y ) y + 7 = 22 - 2 y y + 2 y =22 - 7
3 y = 15 y = 15 / 3
putting value of y in equation 3
x = -11+ ( 13 /5 ) x = -33 /3 + 15 / 3 ( l.c.m)
x = -17 / 5
check
x = -11 + y
- 17 / 5 = -11 + 13 / 5
-17 /5 = -17 / 5
Firstly, you should find how many square yard is in one square foot.
One square yard= Nine square feet.
then, in order to find the area, you need to multiply 12 by 8, which gives you 96 square feet.
In order to find the square feet, you need to divide 96 by 9 (as 1 square yard is equal to 9 square feet)
When you divide these, you get 10.66
Therefore, Amy needs 10.66 square yards of carpet.
Hope this helps :)
