Answer:
- sides: 12 feet
- front: 28 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of one side of the yard. Then the width of the yard is 2x+4, and the perimeter is ...
P = 2(L +W) . . . . . . . . . . formula for perimeter of a rectangle
80 = 2(x + (2x+4)) . . . . . with values from the problem filled in
40 = 3x +4 . . . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms
36 = 3x . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
12 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 3. This is the length of the side fence.
2x +4 = 2(12) +4 = 28
The fence is 12 feet on the sides and 28 feet on the front. (Its total length is 52 feet.)
X will equal 40.
EXPLANATION: since they’re parallel and these are opposite angles, add them together to equal 180.
x+(20)+3x=180.
add common variables.
4x+20=180
subtract 29 from both sides
4x=160
divide each side by 4 so isolate x
x=40
Answer: x=−9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−2(x+14)+1=5
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2(x+14)+1=5(−2)(x)+(−2)(14)+1=5(Distribute)−2x+
