The answer is negative two I believe so if I’m right I’m not 100% sure on this one
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
- Length of the one portion of the board = x feet
- Length of the another portion = (7x – 9) feet
According to the question,
Total length = Sum of the length of the two pieces
Total length = {x + (7x – 9)} feet
Total length = {x + 7x – 9} feet
<u>Total length = (8x – 9) feet</u>
Therefore, the total length of the board as a simplified expression in x is (8x – 9) feet.
Answer:
If I'm correct, the answer should be negative 40/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you first combine multiplied terms into a single fraction, then you multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators. Now you simplify it, by canceling multiplied terms that are in the denominator and then you multiply the numbers. Now you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term. Finally, you will simplify the equation.
(Hope this helps) I had to get a little help myself on this problem)
Micheal has 40ft of fencing for the rectangular dog run. So the perimeter of the dog run is 40ft.
Perimeter=40ft
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
P=2l+2w
Since we know the length is 5 and the perimeter is 40, we can solve for the width.
P=2l+2w
40=2*(5)+2w
40=10+2w
subtract 10 from both sides
30=2w
divide both sides by 2
15=w
The width of the fence is 15feet.
