Answer:

$2,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pasture be x, this means that the length of the pasture will be 2x

The area of a rectangle is L * B

Hence,

x * 2x = 18,000

2x^2 = 180,000

x^2 = 90000

x = 300 meters

This means the length is 600 metres

Now, to get the length of the fence, we need to know the actual perimeter which is 2(L + B)

= 2 ( 300 + 600)

2 * 900 = 1,800 metres

The cost is thus 1,800 * $1.50 = $2,700

Solve for f<br> -f +2 + 4f = 8 - 3f
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

f=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let start off with doing -f plus 4f which gives you 3f. The equation would now be 2+3f=8-3f. Add 3f so you can cancel out the -3f and add the 3f to the other 3f. Now your equation is 2+6f=8. Cancel out do by doing -2. (Don't forget to to it to the 8 also.) Now your equation is 6f=6. Divide 6 from both sides to get 1. (You divide because you want to get f alone.

Point C ∈ AB , AB = 30m. Point C is 1.5 times farther from point A than from point B. Find AC and CB.
Shtirlitz [24]

let's say that C is "x" units farther from B, that means that CB = x, and therefore AC = 1.5x.


\bf \underset{\leftarrow ~~30~~\to}{\boxed{A}\stackrel{1.5x}{\rule[0.35em]{18em}{0.25pt}}C\stackrel{x}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}\boxed{B}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;AB=AC+CB\implies \stackrel{AB}{30}=\stackrel{AC}{1.5x}+\stackrel{CB}{x}\implies 30=2.5x&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{30}{2.5}=x\implies 12=x&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;~\dotfill\\\\&#10;AC=1.5(12)\implies AC=18~\hspace{8em} CB=x\implies CB=12
