Question

The length of a train car is 50.6 feet. This is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width . What is the width? Round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The width is 9.4

Explanation:

Length: 6x - 5.8 = 50.6

Width: x

We have the equation:

6x - 5.8 = 50.6

6x = 56.4

x = 9.4

6(50.6 + 5.8) = 338.4
