Question 908837: The function, L=12w+2, represents the relationship between the length, L, of a rectangle and width, w of a rectangle. Which statement would be in the best interpretation of the function?
Here are the 4 answer choices...
the width of the rectangle is 12 more than 2 times the length
the length of the rectangle is 12 more than 2 times the width
the width of the rectangle is 2 more than 12 times the length
the length of the rectangle is 2 more than 12 times the width

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
L=12w+2 means "multiply the width by 12, then add 2"

So you can translate that into "2 more than 12 times the width" where w is the width.

So the answer is choice D) the length of the rectangle is 2 more than 12 times the width
