Answer:
x = 25.35 (or 2129/84) and y = 4334.04 (or 121353/28)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are set up and ready to go with substitution. Simply just plug in the first equation to the second equation as both are equal to y.
Step 1: Replace y in <em>y = 87x + 2129 </em>with <em>171x</em>
171x = 87x + 2129
Step 2: Subtract 87 x on both sides
84x = 2129
Step 3: Divide both sides by 84 to get x
x = 2129/84 or 25.35 (rounded)
To get y, simply plug in x into one of the 2 original equations. In this case, I will use the first equation:
y = 171 (25.35)
y = 121353/28 or 4334.04 (rounded)
You can check your work by plugging both solutions into the calculator and see if they equal each other. The values for these answers are solely based on the equations, so if you write the <em>equations </em>wrong themselves, then that means you have the values wrong as well.
The fence is 210 ft long.
There is a post every 3.5 ft.
If you divide 210 ft by 3.5 ft, you get the number of spaces between posts.
(210 ft)/(3.5 ft) = 60
The fence starts with a post. Then there is 3.5 ft of fencing. Then there is another post. Then there is another 3.5 ft of fencing followed by a post. In total there are 61 posts.
Here's another way of thinking of why you end up with 60 posts.
For each 3.5 ft of fencing, you place a post at the end of the fencing.
Since there are 60 3.5-ft-long pieces of fencing, there will be 60 posts, one at the end of each piece of fencing. The first thing that is done is to put the initial post before any fencing is put up. The first post plus 60 more posts add up to 61 posts.
Now that you see why there are 61 posts, we can calculate their cost.
61 * $8.50 = $518.50
