Answer:
The inequality that models the situation for her to have money to save is
7L² > 3(200L - L²)
On simplifying and solving,
L > 60 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of her farm = L meters
The farm where she grows avocados is of square dimension
Area of the farm = L × L = L²
The piece of land is 200 m wide.
Total area of the piece of land = 200 × L = (200L) m²
If the area of her farm = L²
Area of the side where she lives will be
(Total area of the land) - (Area of the farm)
= (200L - L²)
= L(200 - L)
Every week, Riley spends $3 per square meter on the area where she lives, and earns $7 per square meter from the area where she grows avocados.
Total amount she earns from the side she grows the avocados = 7 × L² = 7L²
Total amount she spends on the side where she lives = 3 × (200L - L²) = 3(200L - L²)
For her to save money, the amount she earns must be greater than the amount she spends, hence the inequality had to be
(Amount she earns) > (Amount she spends)
7L² > 3(200L - L²)
To simplify,
7L² > 3L(200 - L)
Since L is always positive, we can divide both sides by L
7L > 3(200 - L)
7L > 600 - 3L
10L > 600
L > 60 meters
Hope this Helps!!!
