X intercept= 6
y intercept= -2
Solve the first equation for y.
3x+y=2
y=2-3x
Substitute
4x+(2-3x)=20
4x+2-3x=20
x=18
147.3 as a mixed nunber is 147 and 3/10, 147.3 as an improper fraction is 1473/10
For every meter there are 3.281 feet. The perimeter of the yard is 188ft. Divide 188 by 3.281 and you get 57.3 (rounded to 1dp). Round that<em> up</em> to the nearest meter and you get 58. So, Mr Smith needs 58 meters of fencing for his yard.
