Answer:

4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Farmer has only 7 acre, he has plant at least 7 acres.

          Farmer has only $1200 to spend.

          Each acre of wheat will cost $200 and rye will cost $100.

          Planting time is only 12 hours

          Wheat planting take 1 hour per hour and rye take 2 hours per acre.

          Profit on wheat is $500 per acre and rye $300 per acre.

As to find out maximum profit, we need to plant maximum wheat.

While dividing number of acres of land for wheat and rye for plantation, we need to keep two constraint in the mind; Constraint of cost and time as given.

Lets assume few number considering these constraint to get maximum profit.

First assumption, 5 acres of wheat and 2 acres of rye

Time taken= 5\times 1= 5 h\\2\times 2= 2 h

Total time taken 7 hours

Amount spent= 5\times 200= \$ 1000\\2\times 100= \$ 200

Total cost is $ 1200.

Profit= 5\times 500= \$ 2500\\2\times 300= \$ 600

Maximum profit= $3100.

Second assumption, 4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.

Times taken= 4\times 1= 4 h\\4\times 2= 8 h

Total time taken is 12 hours

Amount spent= 4\times 200= \$ 800\\4\times 100= \$ 400

Total cost is $1200.

Profit= 4\times 500= \$ 2000\\4\times 300= \$ 1200

Maximum profit= $3200.

∴ By using hit and trail method, we can see that we are getting maximum profit when farmer is planting 4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.

<h2>(-10, 2, 6)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+3y+2z=8&(1)\\3x+y+3z=-10&(2)\\-2x-2y-z=10&(3)\end{array}\right\qquad\text{subtract both sides of the equations (1) from (2)}\\\\\underline{-\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x+y+3z=-10\\x+3y+2z=8\end{array}\right }\\.\qquad2x-2y+z=-18\qquad(4)\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations (3) and (4)}\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-2x-2y-z=10\\2x-2y+z=-18\end{array}\right}\\.\qquad-4y=-8\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\.\qquad\qquad y=2\qquad\text{put the value of y to (1) and (3)}

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+3(2)+2z=8\\-2x-2(2)-z=10\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+6+2z=8&\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\-2x-4-z=10&\text{add 4 to both sides}\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x+2z=2&\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\-2x-z=14\end{array}\right\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+4z=4\\-2x-z=14\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad\qquad3z=18\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\.\qquad\qquad z=6\qquad\text{put the value of z to the first equation}

x+2(6)=2\\x+12=2\qquad\text{subtract 10 from both sides}\\x=-10

3. ms. Johnson placed two different orders with TR's special item store. each order was for 40 jars with the circus logo imprint
denis23 [38]
1.The height is 6 inches ad the width (diameter) is 3 inches!
2. So the jars are Volume ≈  42.41 inches so each boy needs 200 / 42.41 which equals approximately 4.72 inches per jar. So if wach boys have half the amount of jars which is 20 you multiply 20 by 4.72 which is 94.4 inches for each boy!
