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

For a direct variation describe how the constant of variation affects whether y increases or decreases as x increases
Goryan [66]
Direct variation is of the form: y=kx  (inverse variation is of the form y=k/x)

Assuming that k is positive :)

y increases as x increases and y decreases as x decreases.  There is a direct ratio that is described by k.  k=y/x.

How much interest will she earn in 3 years?
alekssr [168]
For this, the equation is 
90× 1.13³=y
X was replaced with y. Since she is gaining, you have to remember she is going to have 100 percent of what he had before, she will not lose any.
90× 1.13= 129.86
Now, we need to find the amount of interest she gained, so we have to subtract 90 from the total.
129.86-90=39.86
We can also find the answer by completing a small chart.
The first column will be the year. The second will be the amount. The third will be the interest for the year.
1                                                90                                                11.7
2                                                101.7                                           13.22
3                                                 114.92                                        14.94
The total would round to 39.86, so her interest for the 3 year would be 39.86, with her having 129.86 altogether.

A rectangular field is twice as long as it is wide. if the perimeter of the field is 450 yards. what are the fields dimensions?
Nat2105 [25]
Let width = x
let length = 2x
x + 2x = 450
3x = 450
x = 150
width = 150
length = 2x = 2 (150) = 300
