A farmer is enclosing a rectangular area for a pigpen. He wants the length of the pen to be 20 ft longer than the width. The far

mer can use no more than 100 ft of fencing. What is the pen’s greatest possible length? Let w represent the width of the pen. What expression represents the length?

Answer:

Width is 15, length is 35.We can check our answer by multiplying the length by 2 and the width by two in order for the perimeter to be equal to 200.15 times 2 is 30 and 35 times two equals 70.70+30=100 so our solution satisfies our problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x.Then the length should be x+20.The farmer can’t use more than 100 ft of fencing and by mentioning enclosing a rectangle area for a pigpen, we can tell that 100 is the perimeter.So 2(x+20) + 2(x)=100.2x+ 40 + 2x=100.4x+40=100.4x=60.X is 15 which is the width so then the length is 35.

First you have make the 2 and a half into 5/2. Then you have to find a common denominator of the two fractions, which would be 8. So the 7/8 you dont need to do anything to but the 5/2 you do... so multiply both the top and the bottom by 4 so you can get 8 on the bottom. that would be 20/8. now you can add them. so 7/8 + 20/8 = 27/8

(Constructed Response) Determine whether the binomial, 9x² - 49, is a difference of
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: It is a difference of two squares, and it factors to (3x-7)(3x+7)

=============================================================

Explanation:

We can write the 9x^2 as (3x)^2 since

(3x)^2 = (3x)*(3x) = (3*3)*(x*x) = 9x^2

The 49 can be written as 7^2 because 7^2 = 7*7 = 49.

This means 9x^2 - 49 is the same as (3x)^2 - 7^2. We have a difference of two squares.

The difference of squares factoring rule is

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

which we have a = 3x and b = 7 in this case

So,

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

(3x)^2 - 7^2 = (3x-7)(3x+7)

9x^2 - 49 = (3x-7)(3x+7)

Side note: This is the same as (3x+7)(3x-7). We can multiply two numbers in any order.
