Write and equation that models each situation...
FURNITURE The width of a bookshelf is 2 feet shorter than the height. If the width is 1.5 feet, what is the height of the bookshelf?
I NEED A HINT...NOT THE ANSWER !PLEEEEZ!
If something is "10 feet shorter than y" ....we can write this as "y - 10"
And if y -10 = 8, just "solve" for y!!!
Does that help ???
You can write
width = height - 2
Rearrange this to get height =, then replace width by 2.
