Okay, so you know that the perimeter of the pen is 28 feet. Now we need the separate side lengths.

P = 28 ft.
Length = x
Width = (1/2)x + 2

So now we can plug in the little equations of length and width into a perimeter formula:
 2(x) + 2((1/2)x + 2) = 28
Distribute the 2's and solve as needed.
2x + x + 4 = 28
3x + 4 = 28
3x = 24
x = 8

To find the width, just plug in 8 for x in our little equation:
(1/2)(8) + 2
= 6

So, the length is 8 feet and the width is 6 feet.

Let the length = x.

width = (x/2) + 2 

28 feet of fencing implies the perimeter = 28

Perimeter = 2*(L + W)

28 = 2*(x  + x/2 + 2)

28/2 =  x + x/2 + 2

14 = 3x/2 + 2

14 - 2 = 3x/2

12 = 3x/2

3x/2 = 12

3x = 2*12

x = 2*12/3 = 8

Length of the pen, = x,   x = 8

Length = 8 feet.

It is the plus minus sign. It means to do the addition and subtraction.

Examples:

10 <span>± 7 = 17 and 3

15 </span><span>± 5 = 20 and 10

100 </span><span>± 90 = 190 and 10

It is generally used to indicate a possibility of two outcomes. A negative or positive outcome.</span>

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

2 3/4 = 11/4

1/2 x 4/11 = 4/22 *when you divide a something by a fraction, you flip that fraction to get its reciprocal*

4/22 simplified is 2/11

Please Help!! If mc014-1.jpg, what is the value of c?<br><br> **see attachment
Y_Kistochka [10]
This is the concept of algebra, we are required to solve the given expression;
32^(2c)=8^(c+7)
this can be written as:
2^[5(2c)]=2^[3(c+7)
applying the natural logs we shall get
[5(2c)]ln2=[3(c+7)]ln2
The ln 2 will cancel on from both sides and we shall have:
5(2c)=3(c+7)
10c=3c+21
To make c the subject we begin by subtracting 3c from both sides
10c-3c=3c+21-3c
7c=21
dividing both sides by 7 we get:
(7c)/7=21/7
c=3
The answer is c=3

2%=<br>20%=<br>85%=<br>4%=<br>write each percent as a fraction in simplest form.
Lapatulllka [165]
2% = 2/100 = 1/50
20% = 20/100 = 1/5
85% = 85/100 = 17/20
4% = 4/100 = 1/25
