<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Width is 8 and the Length is 19.</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em> x = width </em>

<em>2x + 3 = length {length is 3 more than twice width}  </em>

<em>Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width) + 2(length)  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> 2x + 2(2x + 3) = 54 {perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length)} </em>

<em>2x + 4x + 6 = 54 (used distributive property)</em>

<em>6x + 6 = 54 (combined like terms) </em>

<em>6x = 48 (subtracted 6 from both sides)</em>

<em>x = 8 (divided both sides by 6)</em>

<em>2x + 3 = 19 (substituted 8, in for x, into 2x + 3)</em>

<em> </em>

<em>The width = 8 and length = 19</em>

<em>Best of luck,</em>

<em>Echy~</em>

The back of Tom's property is a creek. Tom would like to enclose a rectangular area, using the creek as one side and fencing for
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

76,050 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area must be rectangular, let L be the length of the side opposite to the creek, and S be the length of the remaining two sides.

The perimeter of the fencing and the area of the pasture are:

780 = L+2S\\A= LS\\\\L=780-2S\\A=-2S^2+780S

The value of S for which the derivate of the area function is zero is the length of S that maximizes the area of pasture:

\frac{dA}{dS}=0=-4S+780\\S= 195\\L=780-(2*195)=390

The maximum possible area is:

A_{MAX}=390*195=76,050\ ft^2
