Melissa is planning a rectangular vegetable garden with a square patch for tomatoes. She wants the length of the garden to exceed three times the length of the tomato patch by 2 feet. She also wants the garden's width to exceed the width of the
tomato patch by 5 feet.

Let x represent the length, in feet, of the square tomato patch

Q. Write expressions to represent the perimeter of Melissa's garden in terms X.

Perimeter = 8x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length of the tomato patch

W = width of the garden

L = length of the garden

L = 3x + 2

W = x + 5

Perimeter of the vegetable garden

= 2(L+W)

= 2 ( 3x+2 + x + 5 )

= 2 (4x + 7)

= 8x + 14

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
