Solve the linear equation 8x+32=(25x−15 )−4x x =

x = -5

Explanation:

8x + 32 = (25x - 15) - 4x

8x + 32 = 5x - 3 - 4x       distributed to 25x - 15

8x + 32 = x - 3                 added like terms 5x and -4x

7x + 32 = -3                      subtracted x from both sides

7x = -35                            subtracted 32 from both sides

x = -5                               divided both sides by 7

$4034.40

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
