Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The negative in front of the parenthesis changes the signs of the numbers and variables inside the parenthesis. We can rewrite as
4 - x - 1 = 6 and
3 - x = 6 so
- x = 3 and
x = -3
Okay so the total is 183. So we can say 183 =
Let's call the width (the longer side) x.
We know that we have x, x + 32, and x - 5.
We can say 183 = x + (x + 32) + (x - 5).
Let's solve for x.
x = 52.
So we know the length is 84 feet, the shorter side has 47 feet, and the longer side has 52 feet.
