Let W represent the width of a rectangle, the length if 7cm more than the width.
I have to write the answer in a algebraic expression, but I don't know how too
Here
is the question:
1. 7cm less than twice the width?
7-2W
Wouldn't it be 2w-7?
You are correct Not putting it.
no
Thank You Tutor Cat.
To write an algebraic expression for "7 cm less than twice the width," you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the variable. In this case, the variable is the width, which we can represent with the letter "W."
Step 2: Express the width as "W" in the algebraic expression.
Step 3: Write "twice the width." Twice means multiplying by 2, so we can write "2W".
Step 4: Finally, subtract "7 cm less" from twice the width. Less means subtraction, so we subtract 7 from the expression "2W." The expression becomes "2W - 7".
Therefore, the algebraic expression for "7 cm less than twice the width" is "2W - 7."
