A rectangular tabletop has an area of 1,512 square inches. The length of the tabletop is 18 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the width of the tabletop.
To find the width of the tabletop, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = length x width
Given that the area is 1,512 square inches and the length is 18 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
1,512 = 18w
Now, solve for w (width):
w = 1,512 / 18
w = 84
Therefore, the width of the tabletop is 84 inches.
