To solve for x, we will begin by using the distributive property
6x - 2(x + 4) = 12
6x - 2x - 8 = 12
(always remember to sort your negatives!)
Add like terms
4x - 8 = 12
Add 8 to both sides
4x = 20
Divide both sides by 4
x = 5
You have the correct answer on your paper so you should be good if not let me know what else you need:)
Answer:
The perimeter of the dog run will use 67.2 feet of fencing.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find how long the width is.
24 * 2/5 = 9.6
The width of the fence is 9.6 feet.
To find the total perimeter, add double the length and width.
24 * 2 = 48
9.6 * 2 = 19.2
48 + 19.2 = 67.2
I answered on paper hope that is alright with you. I just find it easier for math problems. That slash means two numbers cancel each other out. What's in the box is the answer and the proof that it's right is underneath.
Since 7.6 is the cost per package, and x represents the number of packages, the expression 7.6x would represent the cost for the packages. Once we add the base fee, we get the equation:
y = 7.6x + 6.95
Hope this helps.
