Question

The total width of two standard shortboards
and a technical shortboard is 23.5 inches.
Write an equation to represent the situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

2s + t = 23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of shortboards:

• standard

• technical

Let the width of a standard shortboard be represented by s.

Similarly, Let the width of a technical shortboard be represented by t.

As per the given information: total width of two standard shortboards

and a technical shortboard is 23.5 inches.

Representing it as an equation in terms of the variables defined:

2s + t = 23.5
