Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
If the figure is a parallelogram, the opposite sides are the same length
3x+20 = 5x-12
Subtract 3x from each side
3x+20 -3x = 5x-12-3x
20 = 2x-12
Add 12 to each side
20+12 = 2x-12+12
32 = 2x
Divide each side by 2
32/2 = 2x/2
16 =x
d
divide total cost by length:
0.76 / 3ft = 0.2533 cents per foot
rounded to nearest cent = 0.25 cents per foot
