​

Answer 1

Answer:

Divide both sides by 6. Now that we have the width we can figure out the length, since we know it's twice that amount plus five. The amount of carpet that we need is the area of the room, which is length times the width. 250 square feet of carpet is needed.

Answer 2

Dived both by six

250 sq feet carpet needed.
