Solve the equation: 4 x 2 + 8 = - 7 X=
2 answers:
Answer:
X = -16/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the numbers
4 x 2 + 8 = -7x
8 + 8 = -7x
Add the numbers
8 + 8 = -7x
16= -7x
Divide both sides by the same factor
16= -7x
16 divided bu -7x and -7x divided by -7x
Simplify
-16 divided by 7 not negative 7 and -7 divided by -7
Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
cancel out -7 divided by -7 and you get -16/7 left
so, therefore x= -16/7

The perimeter of a square is the sum of its sides and they are all equal, so to obtain the length of each of them we divide the perimeter of the first fence between 4:
P1= 64 feet/4 sides
P1= 16 feet
Then, the length of each side of the second fence will increase 2 feet at each end, as shown in the figure. We have then that the perimeter of the second fence is:
P2 = 20 feet x 4 sides
P2 = 80 feet
The sum of the perimeters of both fences is:
PT = P1 + P2
PT = 64 feet + 80 feet
PT = 144 feet
Total cost = 1.17 $ x 144 feet
Total cost = 168.48 $
The total cost of the fences was $ 168.48
