Concept explainers
a)
To solve: The given equation
a)
Answer to Problem 13STP
The value of width w is 26 feet.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
It is given an equation
Concept used:
To solve given equation for variable w , first 36 will be subtracting from each side and then each side will be divided by 2.
Calculation:
On subtracting 36 each side,
Now on dividing each side by 2,
Conclusion:
Thus, it is concluded that present width of yard is 26 feet.
b)
To calculate: Total fencing, if the value of width w is increased by 12 feet.
b)
Answer to Problem 13STP
Total length of new fencing after increasing the width by 12 feet is 112 feet.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
It is given an equation
Concept used:
Get new width and put this value in above expression
Calculation:
On adding 12 feet in this current width, new width is 38 feet, so total length of new fencing,
Conclusion:
Thus,total length of new fencing is 112 feet.
