To simplify this expression we need, at first, to find like terms.

-3x+5y-2+7x-8y-3x+5 = (-3x+7x)+ (5y-8y) -2+5 = 4x + 3y +3

4x + 3y +3 is the answer.

erastova [34]

Answer:

Part 1) Helen will need 38 feet of fencing

Part 2) The perimeter around the three sides of the rectangular section of the garden is 27 feet

Part 3) The approximate distance around half of the circle is 11 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) How much fencing will Helen need?

Find out the perimeter

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to the sum of three sides of the rectangular section plus the circumference of a semicircle

$P=2L+W+\frac{1}{2}\pi D$

we have

$L=10\ ft\\W=7\ ft\\D=7\ ft\\\pi =\frac{22}{7}$

substitute

$P=2(10)+7+\frac{1}{2}(\frac{22}{7})(7)$

$P=20)+7+11=38\ ft$

therefore

Helen will need 38 feet of fencing

Part 2) What is the perimeter around the three sides of the rectangular section of the garden?

$P=2L+W$

we have

$L=10\ ft\\W=7\ ft$

substitute

$P=2(10)+7$

$P=20+7=27\ ft$

therefore

The perimeter around the three sides of the rectangular section of the garden is 27 feet

Part 3) What is the approximate distance around half of the circle?

Find the circumference of semicircle

$C=\frac{1}{2}\pi D$

we have

$D=7\ ft\\\pi =\frac{22}{7}$

substitute

$C=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{22}{7})(7)$

$C=11\ ft$

therefore

The approximate distance around half of the circle is 11 feet
