A family wants to enclose a rectangular playground for their toddler with an area of 24 square yards. The length of the garden is to be 5 yards more than its width. What should the dimensions of the playground be?

3 × 8 yards

Explanation:

possible lengths & widths for the given area of 24 square yards:

1 and 24, 2 and 12, 3 and 8, 4 and 6

of these four options, only 3 and 8 fit the requirement of the length of the garden being 5 yards more than the width of the garden. thus, the answer is 3 × 8 yards.

$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)

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

answer:

x=17
