Carlos is building a screen door. The height of the door is 1 foot more than twice its width. what is the width of the door if it is 7 feet high. - WRITE TWO STEP EQUATIONS.

ANSWER:  Carlos is building a screen door.The width of the screen is 3 feet. SOLUTION: Given, Carlos is building a screen door. The height of the door is 1 foot more than twice its width.  And height of the screen door is 7 feet high. Let the width of the screen door be x feet wide. Now, according to given information, Height is 1 foot more than the 2 times of width. Hence we can form a equation as, 7 = 1 + 2x 2x = 7 – 1 2x = 6 x = [tex]\frac{6}{2}[/tex] = 3 Hence, the width of the screen is 3 feet.
