mary need 50 ft of fence to protect her rectangular garden from squirrels. How long and how wide is the 8 ft more than the width length is if the length is 8 ft more than the width

Width of the fence = 8.5 ft

Length of the fence = 16.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary need 50 feet of fence to protect her rectangular garden from squirrels. How long and wide is the garden if the length is 8 feet more than the width?

Perimeter of the fence = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of the fence = 50 ft

Width of the fence = x ft

Length of the fence = x + 8 ft

Perimeter of the fence = 2(length + width)

50 = 2{(x+8) + (x)}

50 = 2(x + 8 + x)

50 = 2(2x + 8)

50 = 4x + 16

50 - 16 = 4x

34 = 4x

x = 34/4

x = 8.5

Width of the fence = x ft

= 8.5 ft

Length of the fence = x + 8 ft

= 8.5 + 8

= 16.5 ft

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
