Question

Danny has decided that he's sick and tired of the cucumbers and tomatoes he buys at the local supermarket. This year, he's going to grow some of his own. However, he is worried about rabbits because they like to eat young plants. Fortunately, he has 60 feet of wire fencing to put around his garden. Since he wants to plant nice neat rows, he wants his garden to be rectangular. He's not sure exactly what size he should make his garden, so he turns to his old friend, algebra. Remember that the perimeter of a rectangle can be found with the formula P=2l+2w . Write an inequality that will give the possible lengths and widths of his rectangular garden so that the perimeter of the garden will not be more than 60. Use x for length of the garden and y for the width.

Answer 1

my goodness your school puts effort into their word problem

Answer 2

I know u hate math but if u draw a picture from the question can answer your self :D

Answer 3

PLEASE help... :( I have no clue what to do!

Answer 4

ammm ...
your question is tooooo long can u write it shorter ????

Answer 5

ok... Well write an inequality that will give the possible lengths and widths of his rectangular garden so that the perimeter of the garden will not be more than 60. Use x for the length and y for the width of the garden.

Answer 6

oK !
do u want learn it too Modom ?:D

Answer 7

huh ???
yes or no ????

Answer 8

Sure

Answer 9

Very good :)
I thought u hate math :)

Answer 10

hah I DO

Answer 11

No problem ....
Now start with one question :
what is the formula to find the perimeter of rectangul?
Do u know that ????:D

Answer 12

Yes, I sure do. P=2l=2w

Answer 13

OK !
We can write :
2(w+l)too ?
OK?

Answer 14

oh woops. lol its P=2l+2w

Answer 15

and yes you can

Answer 16

Thank u :)
Now wait ...
amm ...
Your question want an inequality for perimeter and 60 ??

Answer 17

it asks for an inequality that will give the possible lengths and widths of his rectangular garden so that the perimeter will not be more than 60. (using x as length and y for width)

Answer 18

OK ...
If we get
w=x
L=y
we have :2(x+Y) right ?

Answer 19

Yes

Answer 20

So we want it was <60
OK?

Answer 21

k

Answer 22

So we had :2(x+y) and <60
So it can = 2(x+y) too OK ?
So we have :
2(x+y)=<60
Got it ?

Answer 23

yes

Answer 24

"Your question is too long can you write it shorter"

LOL @E.ali

Answer 25

I don't think @IloveCharlie had any choice in the matter. A student couldn't ask the teacher to write the question shorter if it were on a test.

Answer 26

amm ...
Your mean ???
@IloveCharlie :that was answer :)
Just it :)

Answer 27

Wait WHAT?! THATS IT?!

Answer 28

Yep !

Answer 29

2(x+y)<60 THATS IT!?

Answer 30

yes !

Answer 31

wow

Answer 32

Actually, you're supposed to express the distinct inequalities for both the length and the width.

Answer 33

but it can =60 too :)

Answer 34

something like

l < something
w < something

Answer 35

So the < would be underlined?

Answer 36

@Hero, so im not done? lol theres more to it?

Answer 37

Yes, I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you.

Answer 38

aha !
If it was look :
w+L=30
so if w>L we have another ...

Answer 39

huh im confused lol. So what is the REAL answer?

Answer 40

Please wait ...

Answer 41

But all you do is start with

\(2x + 2y \le 60\)

Then isolate x for length
Then isolate y for width

Answer 42

k lemme try @Hero gimme a second, don't leave. Im a lil slow with math haha

Answer 43

yeeeah. Im not copying. lol. How do I isolate x and y?

Answer 44

get them in w&l
Just it :)

Answer 45

Well, I will isolate x step by step. Then afterwards, you can try isolating y.

Answer 46

how lol :/

Answer 47

Look :
