You decide to make a garden bed and surround it with the bricks. There are 74 bricks, and each brick is 6.2 inches long. You would like the garden bed to be slightly more than twice as long as it is wide, as shown in the diagram below. You have also given yourself a budget of \( \$ 100 \) for additional materials should you need them. Your local home improvement store sells the same bricks for \( \$ 1.37 \) per brick. The displayed sides present the number of bricks on each side. where \( x \) is the number of bricks. Assessment Instructions Show and explain oll steps in your responses to the following parts of the assignment using the Algebra concepts discussed within the course. All mathematical steps and explanations must be typed up and formatted using the equation editor. Part 1: Write an equation representing the perimeter of the garden bed. simplify completely. Part 2: Calculate how many bricks are used on each side of the garden. Part 3: Determine the dimensions of each side of the parden in terms of inches.

3. A carpenter builds a wooden fence around 3 sides of his rectangular backyard, as shown in the diagram. The backyard is twice as long as it is wide. 7.EE.4, 7.EE.4a Part A: Write an expression for the length of the fence using only the variable a. Part B: The perimeter of the entire backyard is 60 ft. Using the expression from Part A, write an equation modeling this scenario again using only the variable a. Part C: Solve your equation to find the total length of the fence.
