Answer:
- sides: 12 feet
- front: 28 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of one side of the yard. Then the width of the yard is 2x+4, and the perimeter is ...
P = 2(L +W) . . . . . . . . . . formula for perimeter of a rectangle
80 = 2(x + (2x+4)) . . . . . with values from the problem filled in
40 = 3x +4 . . . . . . . . divide by 2, collect terms
36 = 3x . . . . . . . . . subtract 4
12 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 3. This is the length of the side fence.
2x +4 = 2(12) +4 = 28
The fence is 12 feet on the sides and 28 feet on the front. (Its total length is 52 feet.)
Since it says when Added they are a negative and when multiplied they are positive, we know our two numbers are negative.
think of all multiples of 24
6 and 4
8 and 3
12 and 2
24 and 1
however, none of our choices here would be correct.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
When B is simplified, it becomes x^2-3x-10. This is a polynomial because it has more than two terms(3).
