-1/2(x + 2) + 11/2 + x = 3
-1/2x - 1 + 11/2 + x = 3
1/2x + 9/2 = 3
1/2x = 3 - 9/2 = -3/2
x = -3/2 * 2 = -3
x = -3
The answer is c have a good day
The area of the rectangular is expressed in the formula A = l*w where l is the length and w is the width. from the first satement, l = 2 + w; then A = (2+w)*w = 2w + w^2. If A is equal to 168, then w should be equal to 12 feet and l is equal to 14 feet. Hence the width due to the border limits is 12- 2*2 equal to 8 feet
One side of the back yard is usually the back side of the house.
But we won't worry about that ... we'll just go ahead and fence all
four sides, like you seem to have said.
Any rectangle has two sides that are the length and two sides that are the width.
So the distance around the back yard is
(14 + 14) + (12 + 12) = 52 meters.
(That's called the "perimeter" of the yard.)
If every meter of fence costs $9.00 , then 52 meters of fence will cost
(52) times ($9.00) = $468 . plus tax.
