The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

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

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

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let x represent the length and y represent the width, hence:

Since beth has 48 ft fencing and cover 3 sides, hence:

x + 2y = 48  

x = 48 - 2y     (1)

Also:

Area (A) = xy

A = (48 - 2y)y

A = 48y - 2y²

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

A' = 48 - 4y

48 - 4y = 0

y = 12 feet

x = 48 - 2(12) = 24

The maximum possible area would have a length of 24 feet and width of 12 feet.

Consider the system of equations.
anzhelika [568]

Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.

And the solution is (2,4/3)  in case you need it.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 8

2x + 6y = 12

If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.

-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8)     New equation:   -2x -3y  = -8.

Add the new equation you got  by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.

Add them:     -2x -3y = -8

                      2x + 6y = 12  

                               3y = 4  

                              y = 4/3

You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.

-2x - 3(4/3) = -8

-2x -4 = -8  

     +4     +4

-2x = -4

x = 2

Write a line in slope-intercept from that goes through the point (2, 5) with a slope of 1/2​
nalin [4]

Answer:

y=1/2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y=mx+b.

m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

1/2 is the slope, and 5 is the y-intercept.

y=1/2x+5.
