nalin [4]

Answer:

The dimensions of rectangular fence are 14 feet and 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Length of rectangular fence = 14 feet

Width of fence = (14+x) feet

Area of rectangular field = 280 square feet

Area of rectangular field =

$A= \text{Length}\times \text{Width}$

Putting the values, we get,

$280 = 14(14+x)\\\\14 + x = \dfrac{280}{14}\\\\14 + x = 20\\x =20-14\\x = 6$

Thus, the dimensions of rectangular fence are 14 feet and 20 feet.

Solve the equation 6.8x + 9.3 = -9.4 + 3.4 (2-5x)

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$6.8x + 9.3 = -9.4 + 3.4 (2-5x)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 10}\\\\68x+93=-94+34(2-5x)\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\68x+93=-94+(34)(2)+(34)(-5x)\\\\68x+93=-94+68-170x\\\\68x+93=-26-170x\qquad\text{subtract 93 from both sides}\\\\68x=-119-170x\qquad\text{add 170x to both sides}\\\\238x=-119\qquad\text{divide both sides by 238}\\\\x=-\dfrac{119}{238}\\\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{2}}$
