Carlos is building a screen door. the height of the door is 1 foot more than twice its width. what is the width of the door if it is 7 feet high. - write two step equations.

ANSWER:  

Carlos is building a screen door.The width of the screen is 3 feet.

SOLUTION:

Given, Carlos is building a screen door. The height of the door is 1 foot more than twice its width.  

And height of the screen door is 7 feet high.

Let the width of the screen door be x feet wide.

Now, according to given information,

Height is 1 foot more than the 2 times of width. Hence we can form a equation as,

7 = 1 + 2x

2x = 7 – 1

2x = 6

x = = 3

Hence, the width of the screen is 3 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
