Question

Kevin has 65 feet of fencing. He wants to use all the fencing to create a rectangular fence around his pool. The equation 2L + 2W = 65, where l is the length of the fence and w is the width. If Kevin makes the length of the fence 13 feet long, how wide should he make it?

Answer 1

19.5 feet long because it’s says 2L so the length he puts it at is 13 feet so you times that by 2 and get 26. Then take 65 minus 26 and you get 39, then take 39 divided by 2 and get 19.5 I think that’s the answer that’s what I would do
