Question

1. if the length l of a rectangle is 17 less than twice the width w, which of the following gives the length of the rectangle in terms of the width?

a. l = 17 - 2w
b. l = 2w - 17
c. l = 17w - 2
d. l = 2 - 17w

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship between length and width

Twice the width is \(2W\).

Step2: Determine the expression for length

Since the length \(L\) is 17 less than twice the width, we subtract 17 from \(2W\). So \(L = 2W-17\).

Answer:

B. \(L = 2W - 17\)
