Answer:
He needs 5x+56 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much of fencing he needs , we find the perimeter of the given figure
All sides are equal in a square
To find perimeter of the square we add all the sides
4 sides we have for the square
one side is x, so perimeter of square = x+x+x+x= 4x
Now we find perimeter of rectangle
Opposite sides of rectangle are equal
Here for rectangle we consider only three sides
because fourth side is common for rectangle and square
So perimeter of the rectangle (with 3 sides) = 28 +x+ 28 = 56+x
Total fencing = perimeter of square + perimeter of rectangle
4x + 56 + x= 5x+56
First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.
1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6
2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2
Now elimination part is easier.
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.
x + 3y = -6
-(x - y = 2)
----------------------
4y = -8
Solve for 'y'
4y = -8
y = (-8)/4 = -2
Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0
Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2

Answer:
increasing 7/24 ft per week
Step-by-step explanation:
An expression for the length of the base can be written from the Pythagorean theorem relation between the sides of the triangle.
If the height is 7-x, where x is the number of weeks after the height is 7 feet, then the base length is ...
b = √(25^2 -(7-x)^2) = √(625 -(49 -14x +x^2)) = √(-x^2 +14x +576)
Then the rate of change of b with respect to x is ...
b' = (-2x +14)/(2√(-x^2 +14x +576))
When x=0, the rate of change of the base is ...
b' = 14/(2√576) = 7/24
The base is increasing 7/24 ft per week when the height is 7 ft.
