Since the problem said he uses 160 feet of fence, you know that is the perimeter
P = 2l + 2w
You know that one of the dimensions is 50, so you can plug that into the equation
160 = 2 x 50 + 2w
160 = 100 + 2w
2w = 60
w = 30
The area is equal to l x w
50 x 30 = 1500 square feet

Hi!!
The answer to your question is asking us to make an algerbraic equation for this situation.
H = 5V
Also, H + V = 52,000. H and V can then be solves by solving the 2 equations.
The results are 43,333 and 8,667
