The maximum area of the rectangular path is when the length is 24 feet and the width is 12 feet.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width. Hence:

There is 48 feet of fencing:

x + 2y = 48

x  = 48 - 2y   (1)

The area (A) is:

A = xy = y(48 - 2y)

A = 48y - 2y²

The maximum area is at A' = 0, hence:

48 - 4y = 0

y = 12

x = 48 - 2(12) = 24

The maximum area of the rectangular path is when the length is 24 feet and the width is 12 feet.

5y = 3478 - 3c if the equation above, c is a constant. If y = 8 is a solution to the equation, what is the value of c?
docker41 [41]
What you would do is simply plug in 8 where y is and solve.
5(8)=3478-3c -Times 5 by 8
40=3478-3c  -Add 3c to the opposite side of the equal sign
40+3c=3478  -Subtract 40 from the opposite side of the equal sign
3c=3438  -Divide equation by 3
 c=1146

Hope this helps! :)

1:3 means that person 1's income is one third of person 2's income.

E.g.: if person 1 gets 40 per hour, person 2 gets 120 per hour.
