He should buy 32 feet of fencing. I got 32 by just finding the perimeter or in other words adding 10+10+6+6 which equal 32. You would NOT do area or 10×6 because that would include that land within the fenced area and who wants 60 feet of fencing that you can't put anything in?
Good luck, hope that helped.
The values of x are 2 and -1.
Solving the equation created by substitution listed in the question:
-2x+14=x²-3x+12
Add 2x to both sides:
-2x+14+2x=x²-3x+12+2x
14=x²-1x+12
Subtract 14 from both sides:
14-14=x²-1x+12-14
0=x²-1x-2
Factoring this, we want factors of -2 that sum to -1; -2(1) = -2 and -2+1=-1:
0=(x-2)(x+1)
Using the zero product property, we know that either x-2=0 or x+1=0:
x-2=0
x-2+2=0+2
x=2
x+1=0
x+1-1=0-1
x=-1
We’ll subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator, keeping the base the same. Cant be simplified, because the base of the expression in the numerator is y and the base of the expression in the denominator is x.
