Question

The width , w, of Ina's dinning room table is 25 inches less than its length, l. Construct an expression that shows the width of the table.

Answer 1

To construct an expression for the width \( w \) of Ina's dining room table in relation to its length \( l \), we start with the information given: the width is 25 inches less than the length.

This can be expressed mathematically as:

\[
w = l - 25
\]

So, the expression that shows the width of the table is \( w = l - 25 \).
