1. The formula for calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, is:
P=2L+2W
P is the perimeter of the rectangle (P=320 feet).
L is the lenght of the rectangle.
W is the width of the rectangle.

2. The problem says that the length of the rectangle is three times the width, so you have:
</span>
L=3W
3. When you substitute L=3W and P=320, into P=2L+2W, you obtain:
P=2L+2W
320=2(3W)+2W
320=6W+2W
8W=320
W=320/8
W=40 feet
4. The barn forms one end of the rectangle. Therefore the linear feet of fence (x) is:
x=P-W
x=320 feet-40 feet
x=280 feet

How many linear feet of fence must he buy?

The answer is: 280 feet
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+8=3x-6
Subtract 3x from each side
5x-3x+8=3x-3x-6
2x+8 = -6
Subtract 8 from each side
2x+8-8 = -6-8
2x = -14
Divide by 2
2x/2 = -14/2
x = -7
Percent that are girls = 100-40 = 60%
As a decimal 60% is 0.6.
Answer:
Y=-6x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula change in Y over change in X which is equal to - 6then calculate
Answer:
84.4 gallons to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Average usage = miles travelled / gallons used so:
6.3 = 532 / gallons used
Gallons used = 532 / 6.3
= 84.44.
