Four less than nine times a number is one hundred twenty-two. Find the original number.
The cost of renting a subcompact car from Super Rental is $20 a day plus 25 cents per mile. How far can Allison drive in one day if she has only $75?
The length of a rectangular field is 50 meters more than twice its width. If the perimeter is 700 meters, find the dimensions of the field.
A wire measures 84 centimeters in length. It is cut into two pieces. The shorter piece is 6 centimeters shorter than the long piece. Find the length of each piece.
Create a real-life problem that involves linear equations and provide a solution to the problem.
If anyone can help with any of these questions I would really appreciate it, it's been a long time since I have had to do this

You can see it better if you draw a picture. Slap the person who yelled at you.
Draw a picture--a rectangle--then note on each side the values assigned.

no
x for each short side
2x+50 for each long side
x + x + 2x + 50 + 2x + 50 = 700 m.
