Question

The width of a rectangle is 18 meters less than twice the length, x. The width of the rectangle is 68 meters. Which equation can be used to find the length of the rectangle, x?
A x + 18= 68

B 2x + 18= 68

C 2x - 18 + 68

D 18 - 2x = 68

Answer 1

Answer:

None of the options are correct, as the answer is 2x - 18 = 68.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2x represents the length (x) being half of the width (68)

The -18 represents the width (68) being 18 less than twice the length (2x)
