Answer
22 feet
Work Step by Step
The first side of the wall has a storage of 7 feet plus 5 equal lengths for plants. Make x equal to the length of each plant. The equation of the length would be: 7+5x
The second side has a storage of 4 feet plus 6 equal lengths for the plants. The equation of the length would be: 4+6x
Set both equations equal.
7+5x=4+6x
Subtract 5x from each side.
7=4+6x−5x
7=4+x
Subtract 4 from both sides to get :
3=x
If x=3, we can plug this in to find the storage length. Lets plug it into equation 1: (7+5x)
7+(5×3)=22 feet
