    The width and length, in feet, of a rectangular playground are x and x + 2. A fence costs $17 per foot.  What is the expression for the cost of the fence?

    • 17[x + (x + 2)]

    • 17x(x + 2)

    • 17[x + (x + 2) + x + (x + 2)]

    • 17 + x + (x + 2)

    Correct Answer
    A. 17[x + (x + 2) + x + (x + 2)]
    Explanation
    The expression for the cost of the fence is 17[x + (x + 2) + x + (x + 2)]. This can be derived by multiplying the cost per foot ($17) by the total perimeter of the rectangular playground. The perimeter is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides of the rectangle, which in this case is x + (x + 2) + x + (x + 2).

    The width and length, in feet, of a rectangular playground are x and x + 2. A fence costs $17 per foot and the total cost for the fence was $1,428.  What  is the value of x?

    Correct Answer
    A. 20
    Explanation
    The total cost for the fence is given as $1,428, and the cost per foot is $17. To find the value of x, we need to determine the perimeter of the rectangular playground. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up all four sides. In this case, we have two sides of length x and two sides of length x + 2. Therefore, the perimeter is 2x + 2(x + 2) = 4x + 4. The cost of the fence is equal to the perimeter multiplied by the cost per foot, so we have the equation 17(4x + 4) = 1428. Solving for x, we find that x = 20.

    The width and length, in feet, of a rectangular playground are x and x + 2. A fence costs $17 per foot.  Write an expression to show the distance around the playground.

    • X ( x + 2)

    • X +( x + 2 )+ x +( x + 2)

    • X - x (2)

    • X + 17 (x + 2)

    Correct Answer
    A. X +( x + 2 )+ x +( x + 2)
    Explanation
    The expression x +( x + 2 )+ x +( x + 2) represents the distance around the playground. The first x represents one side of the playground, the second x + 2 represents the adjacent side, and the two additional terms represent the other two sides. By adding all these terms together, we get the total distance around the playground.

    Which equation describes the relationship between x and y in the table above? - ProProfs

    Which equation describes the relationship between x and y in the table above?

    • Y = y + 5

    • Y = 2x - 5

    • Y = 5x - 2

    • Y = x + 2

    Correct Answer
    A. Y = 5x - 2
    Explanation
    The equation y = 5x - 2 describes the relationship between x and y in the table. This equation shows that y is equal to 5 times x minus 2. This means that as x increases, y will increase at a rate of 5 times the increase in x, with a constant decrease of 2.
