Answer:

a) The greatest possible length is 35.

b) l = w + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The farmer wants the length of the pen to be 20ft longer than the width. If we use w to represent the width. Then the length would be w + 20

The problem first ask us to find the greatest possible length considering the fencing will be no more than 100ft.

We know that the perimeter of a rectangular area is: 2l + 2w (where l is the length and w the width)

Therefore for the fencing we would need 2l + 2w ≤ 100.

We are going to substitute the values for l and w that we mentioned at the beginning and solve for w:

2l + 2w ≤ 100

2(w+20) +2w ≤ 100

2w + 40 +2w ≤ 100

4w ≤ 100 - 40

4w ≤60

w ≤ 15

Therefore the width has to be less or equal to 15.

Since the length is 20 ft longer than the width, the greatest possible length happens when the width has its greatest value.

So when w = 15, the length is 35 and this is the greatest possible length of it.

b) The expression that represents the length (as we said before) is w + 20

2l+2w=100
2(w+20)+2w=100
2w+40+2w=100
4w+40=100
4w=60
w=15
l=w+20
l=15+20
Greatest length is 35ft.

jacob wants to buy packets of fruit juice. on tuesday, he buys 8 packets of orange and 6 packets of Apple the packets make a tot
ioda

Answer:

Each packet of orange can make 2 cups of juice and each packets of Apple can make 3 cups of juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of cups of juice in each packet of orange be 'x'.

Let number of cups of juice in each pack of apples be 'y'.

Given:

On Tuesday;

Number of packets of oranges = 8

Number of packets of apples = 6 packets.

Amount of fruit juice = 34 cups

So we can say that;

Amount of fruit juice is equal to sum of Number of packets of oranges multiplied by number of cups of juice in each packet of orange and Number of packets of apples multiplied by number of cups of juice in each pack of apples.

framing in equation form we get;

8x+6y=34 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

On Wednesday;

Number of packets of oranges = 14

Number of packets of apples = 6

Amount of fruit juice = 46 cups

So we can say that;

Amount of fruit juice is equal to sum of Number of packets of oranges multiplied by number of cups of juice in each packet of orange and Number of packets of apples multiplied by number of cups of juice in each pack of apples.

framing in equation form we get;

14x+6y=46 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Subtracting equation 1 from equation we get;

14x+6y-(8x+6y)=46-34\\\\14x+6y-8x-6y=12\\\\6x=12

Now dividing both side by 6 we get;

\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{12}{6}\\\\x=2\ cups

Now we will substitute the value of 'x' in equation 1 we get;

8x+6y=34\\\\8\times2+6y=34\\\\16+6y=34

Subtracting both side by 16 we get;

16+6y-16=34-16\\\\6y= 18

Now dividing both side by 6 we get;

\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{18}{6}\\\\y=3

Hence Each packet of orange can make 2 cups of juice and each packets of Apple can make 3 cups of juice.

I need help please help me thanks
Nady [450]

Answer:

1. The y-intercept 8 means you start off with $8. The slope 1/4 means how much money you have to pay for the amount of tickets purchased for carnival games.

2. The y-intercept 2 means the number of chapters you started reading and the slope 5/4 means the number of chapters you read per day.

3. The y-intercept 3 means the inital (start) cost of a muffin delivery and the slope 2 means the cost of each muffin delivery for the number of muffins you ordered.

Number 3 on the slope part might be the other way around if I'm wrong :)

Line passes through point (1, 7) and point (-2, 4). What is the slope of this line?
Drupady [299]

The slope of the line is 1.

The slope of the line is 1 because the line moves ror goes up from left to right, making it a positive. The line also moves one block over and one block up.
