Ron is purchasing fencing to go
around a yard with a length of
4x+ 9ft. and a width of 3x - 5ft.
Write an expression for the total amount of fencing he needs to buy
The circumference is 2 times the width and 2 times the length. The equation is therefore 4x+9 + 4x+9 + 3x-5 + 3x-5 = 14x+8, which is expression for the total amount of fencing.
