A livestock pen is built in the shape of a rectangle that is four times as long as is wide. The total perimeter is 60 ft. Write an equation that models the perimeter in terms of width and/or length, find the length and width.

Perimeter = 60ft = 2(4x + x)

breadth = 6ft

length =  24ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 (L + B)

L =length

B = Breadth

x= breadth

4x = length

Perimeter = 60ft = 2(4x + x)

Dividing both sides by 2 :

30ft= 4x + x

30ft = 5x

divide both sides by 5

6ft= x

breadth = 6ft

length = 4x= 4 x 6 = 24ft

step-by-step explanation:

should you really be posting this isn't math boi.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
