Answer:

He will need 15.6 feet of fence

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's back yard has the following dimensions;

Length=120 feet

Width=75 feet

The gardens dimensions can be calculated using the expression;

Length of garden=Length of back yard/scale factor

where;

Length of back yard=120 feet

Scale factor=25

replacing;

Length of garden=120/25

Length of garden=4.8 feet

Width of garden=Width of back yard/scale factor

where;

Width of back yard=75 feet

Scale factor=25

replacing;

Width of garden=75/25

Width of garden=3 feet

The gardens dimension are;

Garden width=3 feet

Garden length=4.8 feet

To get the length of the fence that will enclose all four sides, we calculate the perimeter of the garden;

Perimeter=2(length+width)

Perimeter=2(4.8+3)=15.6 feet

He will need 15.6 feet of fence

The larger of two positive integers is three more than the
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

y=x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's start with the fact that we have two numbers. Let's call one of them "x" and the other one "y." Let's also assume that "y" is the larger number and "x" is the smaller number.

 

We know that both of them added together (the sum) gives us 74. Mathematically, that means:

 

x+y=74.

 

We also know that the larger number ("y") is 4 more than the smaller number ("x"). Another way to say this is, if you have the smaller number and add 4 more to it, you'll end up with the larger number. Mathematically, this means:

 

y=x+4

 

Since we know that y=x+4, we can put "x+4" into the first equation for "y", giving us:

 

x+(x+4)=74

 

Simplifying gives us:

 

2x+4=74

   -4   -4

  ---------

2x=70

---  ---

2    2

 

 

x=35

 

Since we now know that x=35, and we know that y=x+4, we now know that:

 

y=(35)+4

y=39

 

Now that we have both of the numbers, we should check our work to ensure it's correct:

 

Does 39+35=74?      Yes it does.

 

Is 39 (the larger of the two numbers) four more than the smallest number (35)?    Yes it is.

PT=7x-24 and TQ=6x-2, Find PT.
KengaRu [80]
Though we cannot exactly find PT, we can find it in terms of TQ. Multiply the second equation by 7/6 to get 7TQ/6=7x-7/3. Subtracting 65/3 from both sides, we get 7TQ/6-65/3=7x-24. Since the right side is equal to PT, PT=7TQ/6-65/3.
