the first step Andre made was
2x+6=3x-8
or, -x+6=-8
And the first step Diego made was
2x+6=3x-8
or, +6=3x-2x
or, 6=x-8
...
y-y1 over x-x1 its almost the same as y=mx+b
We will need to find the perimeter here, since in this context we’re talking about fencing around a rectangular pool. The formula for perimeter is P = 2L + 2W. The L and W can stand for length/width which is the same as wide/long in this problem. I will now plug in the numbers. P = 2(38) + 2(20) which gives us 76 + 40. 76 + 40 is 116. Therefore, the perimeter is 116 ft.
I know that the fencing company charges $22 per foot. I can multiply 116 x 22 to give me $2552. The answer is $2552.
