Q. 2w+4 2 w+4 \newlineCarly is cutting a piece of paper stock based on the width of a photo. The expression above describes the length of the paper stock, in inches, for a photo that is w w inches wide. If the photo is 88.55 inches wide, what is the length of the paper stock in inches?
  1. Identify Given Expression: Identify the given expression and the value to be substituted.\newlineThe expression for the length of the paper stock is 2w+42w + 4, where ww represents the width of the photo. We are given that the photo is 8.58.5 inches wide.
  2. Substitute Given Width: Substitute the given width into the expression.\newlineSubstitute w=8.5w = 8.5 inches into the expression to find the length of the paper stock.\newlineLength = 2(8.5)+42(8.5) + 4
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication part of the expression.\newlineCalculate 22 times 8.58.5 inches.\newline2×8.5=172 \times 8.5 = 17 inches
  4. Add Result to Find Total Length: Add the result of the multiplication to 44 inches.\newlineAdd 1717 inches to 44 inches to get the total length of the paper stock.\newline17+4=2117 + 4 = 21 inches
