Answer:
The length of a rectangular garden is: 13 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 2 lengths that are 2x-3 feet, and 2 widths that are x.
2x-3 + 2x-3 +x +x =42 feet
4x -6 +2x -42 feet
6x -6 = 42 feet
6x = 48 feet
x = 8 feet (so, 2x-3 = 16-3 = 13 feet)
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
3+5=8
Answer:
2x+59.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>J </em>represent Jessica's weight and <em>R</em> represent Ronda's weight.
Jessica weighs <em>x+34</em> pounds. Thus:
Ronda weighs 12 pounds less than Jessica. In other words:
The sum of their weights, therefore, is:
Now, if Jessica gains 5 pounds and Ronda loses 2 pounds, the net gain of the total weight would be 3 pounds. Thus, we only need to add 3 to the original total to find the sum of their new weights:
The sum of the new [weights] is represented by 2x+59.
1/2 Because 4/8 is the same as 1/2 and 3/8 is smaller
