Answer correctly

Benny wants to put a rectangular fence in his yard, and he wants the length of the fence to be 5 less feet than twice its width. He also found that every foot of fencing will cost $3.16. The total cost of the fence is C = 3.16 (6w - 10), where w is the width of the fence. What does 6w - 10 represent?

Ruby Moss · Answer 1

6w-10 represents the total amount of fence will need to complete the rectangle of fence in his yard. The fence will need two lengths and 2 widths to complete the rectangle. If the width is w, and the length is 2w-5, then the total for the rectangle would be w+w+2w-5+2w-5 which simplifies to 6w-10.

Tucker Ruiz · Answer 2

6w - 10 represents the length of the fence

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width was w, then the length of the rectangular fencing would be 2w - 5 as he wants it 5 feet less than twice the width. So the total perimeter of the fencing would be w + w + 2w - 5 + 2w - 5 = 6w - 10
