Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- (a) 104 = 4(12+x)
- (b) x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The new side length of Ben's garden is (12+x), since x is the amount of increase above the existing 12 ft side length.
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four equal sides, so is ...
perimeter = 4 × side length
104 = 4(12+x)
(b) We can solve this by dividing by 4, then subtracting 12.
26 = 12 +x . . . . . divide the above equation by 4
14 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
The solution is x = 14.
This is not a complete question i cannot help.... Sorry about that! If you would like to revise the question i would be happy to help.
Although they are the same variable, you cannot add two variables raised to different powers. 3x^1 + 5x^2 cannot work, but 3x^2 + 5x^2 can. Also, if you are multiplying them, they would combine to be 15x^3, as 3 and 5 (The coefficients) multiply together and x^2 times x^1 = x^3.
I hope that helps.
