Answer 1

Answer: Our required expression will be

$43f-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of feet be f

Shannon is putting a fence around the garden except where there is a gate that is 3 feet wide.

Cost of one foot of the fence = $43

Cost of the gate = $128

Remaining foot for fencing is given by

$f-3$.

So, Expression that represents the total cost of the fence and gate is given by

$43(f-3)+128\\\\=43f-129+128\\\\=43f-1$

Hence, our required expression will be

$43f-1$

Answer 2

43 x 3 = 129 divided by 2 = 64.5
