my dad is designing a new garden. he has 21 feet of fencing to go around the garden. he wants the length of the garden to be 1 1/2 feet longer than the width. how wide should he make the garden?

21=2w+2w+3    18=4w     w=4.5

answer: the common difference is -0.10

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
