Linda has a rectangular garden that's 3x-5feet by 2x feet. She wants to put a fence around the perimeter of the garden. If each foot of fence costs 5 dollars, how much will the total fencing around the garden cost?

Respuesta :

The total cost to put the fence around the rectangular garden is $(2x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangular garden = 2[(3x - 5) +2x]

= 2(5x - 5) ft.

Total cost = 2(5x - 5) /5

=$ 2x - 2

The cost for putting the fence around the rectangular garden is $ (2x - 2)

The cost of the total fencing around the garden is;

$(50x - 50)

We are given the dimensions of Linda's rectangular garden as;

Length = 3x - 5 feet

Width = 2x feet

Now, perimeter of a rectangle is;

Perimeter = 2(Length + width)

Thus;

Perimeter of garden = 2(3x - 5 + 2x)

2(5x - 5) ft

Since each foot costs $5, then total cost of fencing is;

5 ×  2(5x - 5)

⇒ 10(5x - 5)

$(50x - 50)
