Answer:

63 feet long and 10.5 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

147 is the maximum amount of fencing, which means that this is dealing with perimeter.

So we set up our equation:

6x + 6x + x + x ≤ 147

(x being the width, and 6x being the length, which is 6 times the width)

this simplifies to:

14x ≤ 147

simplify:

x ≤ 10.5

So the width of the fencing is 10.5 feet long, meaning that the length is 63 feet long.

Check answers:

6(10.5) + 6(10.5) + 10.5 + 10.5 = 147

63 + 63 + 21 = 147

126 + 21 = 147

147 = 147

It works, so that is the solution.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

length = 63 ft; width = 10.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.

The length is 6 times the width, so the length is 6x.

The perimeter is the sum of 2 lengths and 2 widths.

6x + 6x + x + x

The perimeter equals 147 ft.

6x + 6x + x + x = 147

14x = 147

x = 10.5

The width is 10.5 ft.

The length is 6x, so the length is 6 * 10.5 ft = 63 ft

I’m pretty confused on this question. Anyone know the answers?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

• If m > 0, then the line slopes upwards from left to right ( increases )

• If m < 0, then the line slopes downwards from left to right ( decreases )

(a)

y + x = 3 ( subtract x from both sides )

y = - x + 3 ← in slope-intercept form

with m = - 1 ⇒ decreasing from left to right

(c)

y = 4x + 8 ← is in slope-intercept form

with m = 4 ⇒ increasing from left to right

the equation of a line in the form x = c represents a vertical line, where c is the value of the x-coordinates the line passes through

(b)

x - 5 = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )

x = 5 ← is a vertical line

the equation of a line in the form y = c represents a horizontal line, where c is the value of the y-coordinates the line passes through

(d)

\frac{y}{4} = - 6 ( multiply both sides by 4 )

y = - 24 ← is a horizontal line

Marni has 11 ounces of walnuts. She needs 6 ounces for one recipe and pound for another. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.
Ahat [919]
11-6=5 ounces. She doesn’t have enough for both of the recipes. She will need 11 more ounces to be able to make the recipes. 5+11=16 and 16 ounces are in a pound.
