Answer:

The length of the yard is 60 feet while the width is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of Mr. Timmon's backyard is double the width, then the dimensions are related by the following expression:

length = 2*width

We also know the perimetter, since he has the exact length of fence to surround his whole yard, which is 180 feet. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

Therefore,

180 = 2*length + 2*width

With the length being double the width, we have:

180 = 2*(2*width) + 2*width

180 = 4*width + 2*width

6*width = 180

width = 180/6 = 30

length = 2*width = 2*30 = 60

The length of the yard is 60 feet while the width is 30 feet.

10(1+3x)=-20 and -5x-8(1+7x)=-8 <br> With steps
SOVA2 [1]

(1)

10(1+3x)=-20

Cross multiply.

10+30x=-20

Isolate x on one side. So you would subtract 10 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,

30x=-20-10

Subtract 10 from -20.

30x=-30

Divide each side by 30 to get x.

30x÷30=-30÷30

Therefore,

x=-1

(2)

-5x-8(1+7x)=-8

Cross multiply -8(1+7x)

-5x-8-56x=-8

Isolate all x's on one side. So you would add 8 on each side. and one side will cross each other out. leaving you with,

-5x-56x=-8+8

Add 8 to -8.

-5x-56x=0

Subtract -56x from -5x

-61x=0

Divide each side by -61

-61x÷-61=0÷-61

Therefore,

x=0
