Question

James has a rectangular plot of land that is 250 feet long and x feet wide. He wants to build a fence around the plot of the land. If the perimeter of the plot is 942 feet, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

= 221

Explanation:

Lenght = 250

Width= x

Perimeter = 2 (l+b) = 942

2 x (250 +x) = 942

500 + 2x = 942

2x = 942 - 500= 442

x = 442 /2 = 221

I hope Im right!!
