Answer:
Length = 6.25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Your dad is designing a new garden for your backyard. He has 20 feet of fencing to go around the garden.
Let the width is x.
Length is 2 1/2 feet longer than the width i.e. (x+2 1/2) = (x+2.5) feet
Perimeter = 20 feet
2(l+b) = 20
(l+b) = 10
(x+2.5+x) = 10
2x+2.5 = 10
2x = 7.5
x = 3.75 feet
Length = (x+2.5)
= (3.75+2.5)
= 6.25 feet
So, the length of the garden is 6.25 feet.
If I understand correctly, you went wrong because you solved for Y instead of M, like the question dictates.
Green is 4 and Purple is 6 so you put it in a fraction by adding all of them and the just green and purple so 10/30 simplified is 1/3.
Answer:
5 -> 8 -> 11 -> 14 -> 17 !! hope it helps
