Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We should derive an equation to solve this problem.

Let's assign x to width and y to length.

$2x-4=y$

and

$2x+2y=22$

so

$2x+2(2x-4)=22$

$2x+4x-8=22$

$6x-8=22$

$6x=30$

$x=5$

Width = 5 meters

3 cups 6oz + 2 cups 9oz

Liono4ka [1.6K]

1 cup is equal to 8 oz, so
3 cups x 8 = 24 oz.
you'll do the same for the two cups
2 x 8 = 16 oz
so adding them all together will be
24 + 6 + 16 + 9 = 55 total oz.
