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.

Find the sum. Express your answer in simplest form.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

\frac{10x^2+3}{y^2+4}

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding rational numbers, if the denominator is the same you simply keep the denominator (bottom of fraction) as it is and apply the operation given to the numerator ( top of fraction )

So we have \frac{6x^2+5}{y^2+4} +\frac{4x^2-2}{y^2+4} =\frac{(6x^2+5)+(4x^2-2)}{y^2+4}

==> remove parenthesis and apply signs

\frac{x^2+5+4x^2-2}{y^2+4}

==> simplify numerator by combining like terms

\frac{10x^2+3}{y^2+4}

and we are done!

Note:

like terms are terms with the same variable and exponent

An example of like terms are 6x^7 and 3x^7 as they have x as a variable and a power of 7

The like terms being combined here were (6x² and 4x²) and (5 and -2)
