Shannon is putting a fence around her garden, except where there is a gate that is 3 feet wide. One foot of the fence costs $43. The cost of the gate is $128. Write an expression that represents the total cost of the fence and gate.

Respuesta :

x = the number of feet of fence

y = the total cost of the fence and gate

43x + 128 = y

[fence costs $43 per feet(x) plus the cost of the gate(128) equals the total cost of the fence and gate(y)]
