Suppose the dimensions of the rectangle is x by y and let the side enclosed by a house be one of the sides measuring x, then the sides that is to be enclosed are two sides measuring y and one side measuring x.
Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by
P = x + 2y
The area of the rectangle is given by xy,
i.e.

Substituting for y into the equation for the length of fencing needed, we have

For the amount of fencing to be minimum, then

Now, recall that

Thus, the length of fencing needed is given by
P = x + 2y = 24 + 2(12) = 24 + 24 = 48.
Therefore, 48 feets of fencing is needed to enclose the garden.
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
9(x - 4) = 2(x + 10)
9x - 36 = 2x + 20
7x = 56
x = 8
Please mark as brainliest :)
Since there are three negative numbers your product will be negative.
6.5 * 4 = 26.0
26. * 2.8 =
208
52
------------------
72.8
Answer is -72.8
You need to divide-4 on both sides which will get you 8.hope this helps
