Kirsten built a rectangular corral with a fence on three sides. a side of the barn served as a short side od the corral. she used 130 m of fencing . the length of the corral was 20 m longer than the width . find the dimensions of the corral. choices for the width : 25, 30 , 35 explain

 Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the width of corral be 'w'.

Let the length of corral be 'w+20'

Perimeter of corral = 130 m

As we know the formula for "Perimeter":

so, width of corral = 30 m

Length of corral = 30+20 = 50 m

Hence, Second option is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
