L = 11x
W = 7x
W = L - 20
Substitute 11x and 7x for L and W:
7x = 11x - 20
Solve for x and plug in the following to solve for length and width.
L = 11x
W = 7x
W = 7x
W = L - 20
Substitute 11x and 7x for L and W:
7x = 11x - 20
Solve for x and plug in the following to solve for length and width.
L = 11x
W = 7x
