Bob needs to hire someone to mow his lawn and rake his leaves. His neighbor's son charges $36 to mow plus $5 for each leaf bag he fills. His niece charges $60 to mow plus $2 for each leaf bag she fills,

Write an equation to determine the number of bags for which the two costs would be the same.

8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

S(x) = 36+5x

N(x) = 60+2x

Then set them equal to find the number of bags that they are the same

36+5x=60+2x

3x=24

x=8

$4034.40

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
