Katherine Yoder · Answer 1

F = feet of fence

c = total cost

43f + 128 = c

Since we're missing any dimensions, we identify the fence with f and the gate with 128, If each foot of fence is $43 (unrealistic), then 43f shows the value of any amount of fencing. Adding those two values together will provide the total cost.
