Becky wants to fence in a rectangular play area for her dog. If she wants the length of the play area to be 9 feet longer than half its width, what should the dimensions of the play area be? Write the dimensions algebraically

Length= (0.5x+9) ft

Width= (x) ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be represented by x and since the length is 9 feet longer than half its width it means half the width is 0.5x plus 9 feet. Therefore, the dimensions are as follows

Length= (0.5x+9) ft

Width= (x) ft

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
