Question

The perimeter of a garden is 48 meters. The length is 14 meters, and the width is w. Which value of w makes the equation 48 = 2(14) + 2w true?

Answer 1

2(14)+2w=48  divide both sides by 2

14+w=24 subtract 14 from both sides

w=10

So the width is 10 meters.

Answer 2

In this problem we are trying to find the value of "W".

The values given are

·Y=48
·w=unknown
·2(14)=28

So we know that 28+2w=48, in order to solve for W, we would need to first subtract 28 from both sides

·2w=20

And now we would find the greatest common factor and devide both sides by that value, in this case its 2.

·2w/2=20/2
·20/2=10
·w=10

In conclusion W=10
