17. A gardener is installing a fence around his garden. Let x represent the width of the garden, in feet. The perimeter of the graden is 8x + 8. Which expression
represents the length of the garden?
a. 2x + 2
b. 3x +4
c. 6x + 8
d. 8x + 8 - 2x

Hey there!

B. 3x + 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

Perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2l + 2w

Given:

P = 8x + 8

w = x.

Plug the given information into the equation:

8x + 8 = 2l + 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

6x + 8 = 2l

Divide both sides by 2:

(6x + 8)/2 = 2l/2

3x + 4 = l.

Therefore, the length of the garden is:

l = 3x + 4 ft.

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
