Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 8 = -2
-5x + 8 - 8 = -2 -8
-5x = -10
-5x/5 = -10/5
-x = -2
x=2
There is no answer as this isn't an equation. And moreover it's in its simplest form.
Answer:
Dimensions :
x (the longer side, only one side with fence ) = 90 ft
y ( the shorter side two sides with fence ) = 45 ft
Total fence used 45 * 2 + 90 = 180 ft
A(max) =
Step-by-step explanation: If a farmer has 180 ft of fencing to encloses a rectangular area with fence in three sides and the river on one side, the farmer surely wants to have a maximum enclosed area.
Lets call "x" one the longer side ( only one of the longer side of the rectangle will have fence, the other will be along the river and won´t need fence. "y" will be the shorter side
Then we have:
P = perimeter = 180 = 2y + x ⇒ y = ( 180 - x ) / 2 (1)
And A (r) = x * y
A(x) = x * ( 180 - x ) /2 ⇒ A(x) = (180/2) *x - x² / 2
Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation :
A´(x) = 90 - x
Then if A´(x) = 0 ⇒ 90 - x = 0 ⇒ x = 90 ft
and from : y = ( 180 - x ) / 2 ⇒ y = 90/2
y = 45 ft
And
A(max) = 90 * 45 = 4050 ft²
Answer: 3 Bags
If you go from using 1 egg to 3 eggs, you are multiplying the amount you use by 3. If you multiply 1/3 by 3, you get 1 cup of oil. Apply that to your 1 bag of brownie mix, and you get a total of 3 brownie mix bags.
1*3=3
1/3*3=1
