Marcie wants to enclose her yard with a fence. Her yard is in the shape of a triangle attached to a rectangle. See the figure below. (http://learn.flvs.net/webdav/educator_algebraI_v17/module02/images/02_07_assessment/shape_of_yard.jpg) The area of this figure can be found by the formula A = (wh) + 0.5(bh). If Marcie wants the total area to be larger than a specified value, she can use the formula A (wh)+ 0.5(bh). Rewrite this formula to solve for b. Show all steps in your work. (I do not want a direct answer to this. I would like help on learning how to answer this, please. Thank you!)

If Marcie wants the total area to be larger than a specified value, she can use the formula A > (wh)+ 0.5(bh). Rewrite this formula to solve for b. Show all steps in your work.
