y = -2x - 9 ----------- 1

y = 3x + 1 -------------- 2

Step 1

Substitute y from equation 1 to equation 2.

y = -2x - 9

3x + 1 = -2x - 9

Step 2

Collect like terms

3x + 2x = - 9 - 1

5x = -10

Step 3

Divide through by 5

x = -10/5

x = -2

Step 4

Substitute x in equation 2 to find y.

y = 3x + 1

y = 3(-2) + 1

y = -6 + 1

y = -5

So the solution is (-2, -5)

At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 lb of grapes in a season when about 700 vines are plant

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Number of vines that should be planted are 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pounds of pounds of grapes produced per acre is represented by the expression $A_{n}=(700+n)(10-0.01n)$

Where n = additional vines planted

To maximize the production of grapes we will find the derivative of A(n) and equate it to zero.

$A_{n}=(7000+3n-0.01n^{2} )$

$A'_{n}=(3-0.02n)$

For $A'_{n}=0$

3 - 0.02n = 0

0.02n = 3

n = $\frac{3}{0.02}$

n = 150

To check whether the maximum value of the function is at n = 150, we will find the second derivative A(n).

$A''_{n}=-0.02$

Which shows A"(n) < 0

Therefore, A(n) has the maximum value at n = 150.

Therefore, number of vines that should be planted are 150.

Ms. Higdon is planning her wedding. One venue charges

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

80 people would need to attend for the venues to cost the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of people who attend the wedding = m

The venue charges of venue 1 = $10,000

The per person charge of Venue 1 = $25 per person

So, the charge for m people = m x ($25) = 25 m

So ,The total charge of Venue 1 = Venue Charge + People Cost

= $10, 000 + 25 m

Now, The per person charge of Venue 2 = $150 per person

So, the charge for m people = m x ($150) = 150 m

So ,The total charge of Venue 2 = 150 m

According to question:

For m people both charges are equal ⇒ $10, 000 + 25 m = 150 m

or, 10,000 = 150 m - 25 m

⇒ 125 m = 10,000

⇒ m = 10,000 / 125 = 80

or, m = 80

Hence, 80 people would need to attend for the venues to cost the same amount.
