Tao is building a door. The height of the door is 1 foot more than twice its width. If the door is 7 feet high, what is it's width?

Respuesta :

The width of door is 3 feet when the height of door is 7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

w represent the width of door.

Height of door = h

h = 2w+1    Eqn 1

If the door is 7 feet high, therefore;

h = 7

Putting in Eqn 1;

[tex]7=2w+1\\7-1=2w\\6=2w\\2w=6\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2;

[tex]\frac{2w}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\\w=3[/tex]

Therefore,

The width of door is 3 feet when the height of door is 7 feet.
