5. A rectangular yard is fenced in using 320 feet of custom fence. Your friends really like the fence and decide to fence in their yard using the
same fence. Their yard is similar but has a scale factor of 8/5 times the size
of yours. How much fence (in feet) will they have to purchase?

I NEED HELPP!!!
PLEASE HELP

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

16 would be your answer

area of rectangle a is 2 times that of rectangle b that means 2x+x =   36cm^2

3x = 36cm ^2

x = 36/3

x= 12cm^2

and 2x = 24cm^2

now side of square = are divided by sides = 36/4 = 6cm

that means length of rectangle a and b is 6cm too

now for rectangle a,

l*b = area

= 6*y=24

y=24/6 = 4

therefore dimensions of rectangle a are- length = 6cm, breadth = 4cm

and for rectangle b, length = 6cm and breadth = 6-4 = 2cm.

hope this .
