Problema Solution
A table is four times as long as it is wide. If it were 6 ft shorter and 6 ft wider it would be square how long and how wide is the table
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'w' represent the length of the table's width, then '(4w)' represents its length
the dimensions of a square will be equal, therefore:
4w-6 = w+6

w=4
4*4=16
The table is 16 feet long and 4 feet wide.
