Answer:

w= 3 feet

h= 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

H=height; W=width=2H-7ft

W=2H-7ft

2H+4W=22ft Substitute for W

2H+4(2H-7ft)=22ft

2H+8H-28ft=22ft Add 28 ft to each side.

10H=50ft

H=5 ft ANSWER 1: The bookshelf is 5 feet high.

W=2H-7ft=2(5ft)-7ft=10ft-7ft=3ft

ANSWER 2: the bookshelf is 3 feet wide.

CHECK:

2H+4W=22ft

2(5ft)+4(3ft)=22ft

10ft+12ft=22ft

22ft=22ft
