The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
l = length
w = width
In this problem,
w = x
l = x + 30
the perimeter = 148
Let's plug our values into the perimeter formula above.
148ft = 2(x + x + 30ft)
Combine like terms.
148ft = 2(2x + 30ft)
Distribute the 2
148ft = 4x + 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
88ft = 4x
Divide both sides by 4
22ft = x
The width = x = 22ft
The length = x + 30 = 22 + 30 = 52ft
Answer:
Derrick mistakenly combined the numbers adding it together but the numbers are not the same value to be combined. You cannot add yards and ft together.
Width = 55ft
Area = 4950 sq ft
Cost = $9900
Step-by-step explanation:
Derrick mistakenly combined the numbers adding it together but the numbers are not the same value to be combined. You cannot add yards and ft together.
You have to convert the yards to ft to add it to the other ft.
1 Yard = 3 ft
So the width is 18 yards 1 ft = 54ft + 1ft = 55ft
To calculate the area is L x W
The length is 30 yards. Convert that to ft = 90ft
So 90 x 55 = 4950 sq ft
At $2 per sq ft, you multiply the 4950 sq ft by $2
2 x 4950 = $9900
The one in the middle you can tell because when x=0 that is the y intercept and the graph had a y intercept of 4 and the middle graph had 5
We need to know the definition of the "combined function" h(x). I'm going to guess--by looking at answers--that the function is

making it

This function is undefined wherever the denominator is equal to 0 (division by zero is undefined). Factor the denominator.

The two values of x that make the denominator 0 are 3 and -3, otherwise written
