1. We need to buy 22.8 meters of fence

2. Area of garden is 36.2 meters^2

Step-by-step explanation:

I am considering length and width of the garden and not gate.

Length = $5\frac{2}{3}\,\,meters$

Width = $6\frac{2}{5}\,\,meters$

Fence needed to buy

Fence needed to buy= Perimeter of garden

Finding perimeter:

$Perimeter=2(length+width)$

Putting values:

$Perimeter=2(length+width)\\Perimeter=2(\frac{17}{3}+\frac{32}{5})\\Taking\,\,LCM\,\,0f\,\,5\,\,and\,\,3\,\,i.e\,\,15\\Perimeter=2(\frac{17*5+32*3}{15})\\Perimeter=2(\frac{85+96}15})\\Perimeter=2(\frac{171}{15})\\Perimeter=\frac{342}{15}\\Perimeter= 22.8\,\,meters$

So, We need to buy 22.8 meters of fence

Area of Garden:

The formula required to find area of garden is:

$Area=Length*Width$

$Area=\frac{17}{3}*\frac{32}{5}\\Area=\frac{544}{15}\\Area = 36.2\,\,meters^2$

So, Area of garden is 36.2 meters^2

-y+5x-12=0 what is solution to get the answer of that?

Nady [450]

−y+5x−12=0
Add 12 to both sides.
5x−y−12+12=0+12
5x−y=12
Add y to both sides.
5x−y+y=12+y
5x=y+12
Divide both sides by 5.
5x/5=y+12/5

X=1/5y+12/5

How do you solve x^2 plus 16x plus 63=0?

Alex

$x^2+ 16x + 63=0 \\ \\a=1, \ b=16 , \ c=63 \\ \\ \Delta =b^2-4ac =16^2 -4\cdot1\cdot 63 = 256 -252 = 4 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\Delta }{2a}=\frac{-16-\sqrt{4}}{2 }=\frac{-16-2}{2}=-\frac{-18}{2}=-9 \\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\Delta }{2a}=\frac{-16+\sqrt{4}}{2 }=\frac{-16+2}{2}=-\frac{-14}{2}=-7 \\ \\ \\Answer : \ x= -7 \ \ or \ \ x= -9$
