Answer:

s for length of either equal side

b for the unequal side

b=-2+2*(s+s) and 2s+b=40

b=2*2s-2

b=4s-2

2s+4s-2=40

6s-2=40

6s=42

s=7

b=4*7-2

b=28-2

b=26

Peter is trying to buy fencing for the perimeter of his garden. His garden is in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 2(x+6

RideAnS [48]

Given dimensions of a rectangular garden are:

length = 2(x+6) feet

width = 3.5x feet

using the distributive property on length we get, length = 2x+12

Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length+width)

So, P = 2(2x+12+3.5x)

Solving it we get,

P = 2(5.5x +12) ..............adding like terms

P = $(2\times5.5)+(2\times12)$ .............multiplying and adding

P = 11x+24

So, perimeter is 11x+24 feet. This value of fencing will be needed.
