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 = = 3

Hence, the width of the screen is 3 feet.

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
