Given:

Carrie has 180 ft of the fencing and wishes the fence to be 4times as long as it is wide.

To Find:

The area in square feet that the fencing encloses.

Answer:

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the length of the dog run and y denote the width of the dog run.

Given that the garage wall serves as one side of the dog run, we are left with 3 other sides to instal the fence.

Carrie has 180ft of fencing with her, so the sum of the lengths of the 3 sides has to be equal to 180. We can represent this in the form of an equation as

x+y+y=180\\\\x+2y=180\\\\x=180-2y

We are also given that Carrie wishes the fence to be 4 times as long as it is wide.

So,

x=4y

Replacing this value into the first equation, we have

4y=180-2y\\\\
6y=180\\\\
y=30

Therefore,

x=(4)(30)=120

Thus, the length of the dog run is 120ft and the width is 30ft.

The area enclosed will be equal to the length multiplied with the width. So,

(120)(30)=3600

The fence encloses 3600 sq ft.

The sum of three numbers is 102. The first number is 6 more than the second. The third number is 4 times the second. What are th
const2013 [10]

Answer:

1st number: 22

2nd number: 16

3rd number: 64

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 102

x = 6 + y

z = 4y

plug that in!

(6 + y) + y + (4y) = 102

get rid of the parenthesis (I added them so you could see what I was replacing) and add like terms.

6 + 6y = 102

move 6 to the other side.

6y = 96

y = 16

now that you know one number, you can solve the equations for the rest!

x = 6 + (16)

z = 4(16)

__________________________________________________________

x = 22

y = 16

z = 64

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the lying lemon used car company each salesperson makes $5.75 per hour and receives 6 1/2% commission on sales. Converting

6 1/2% to decimal, it becomes 6.5%

If a Salesperson worked for 8 hours, the amount that he would earn would be

8 × 5.75 = $46

If the salesperson sold a car for $9290, his commission would be

6.5/100 × 9290 = 0.065 × 9290 = $603.85

Total amount that the sales person would earn is

46+ 603.85 = $649.85
