Answer: The system of linear equations are

L + W = 45

L = 4W - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the deck.

Let W represent the width of the deck.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2( length + width)

The perimeter of a rectangular wooden deck is 90 feet. This would be expressed as

90 = 2(L + W)

Dividing through by 2

L + W = 45

The deck's length,L is 5 less than 4 times its width, W. This is expressed as

L = 4W - 5

Charli bought 2 3/4 pounds of pears for 0.76 per pound and 2 3/4 pounds of grapes for 1.40 per pound. how much money in dollars
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Total = \$5.94 ---- in dollars

Total = 594\ cents ---- in cents

5 dollars 94 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pears

Weight = 2\frac{3}{4}\ lb

Amount = \$0.76 per pound

Grapes

Weight = 2\frac{3}{4}\ lb

Amount = \$1.40 per pound

Required

Determine the amount paid for the fruit in dollar and cents

First, we need to calculate the amount paid for each fruit.

This is calculated by multiplying the amount per pound by the number of pounds bought.

For Pears:

Total_{Pears} = 2\frac{3}{4} * \$0.76

Convert fraction to decimal

Total_{Pears} = 2.75 * \$0.76

Total_{Pears} = \$2.09

For Grapes

Total_{Grapes} = 2\frac{3}{4} * \$1.40

Convert fraction to decimal

Total_{Grapes} = 2.75 * \$1.40

Total_{Grapes} = \$3.85

Next, we add both amounts together to get the total amount spent in dollars.

Total = Total_{Pears} + Total_{Grapes}

Total = \$2.09 + \$3.85

Total = \$5.94

Multiply by 100 to convert this amount to cents

Total = 5.94 * 100\ cents

Total = 594\ cents

And it can be represented as dollars and cents as:

5 dollars 94 cents

Consider the following problem: A farmer with 750 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into four
gregori [183]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

For any rectangle, the one with the largest area will be the one whose dimensions are as close to a square as possible.

However, the dividers change the process to find this maximum somewhat.

Letting x represent two sides of the rectangle and the 3 parallel dividers, we have 2x+3x = 5x.

Letting y represent the other two sides of the rectangle, we have 2y.

We know that 2y + 5x = 750.

Solving for y, we first subtract 5x from each side:

2y + 5x - 5x = 750 - 5x

2y = -5x + 750

Next we divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = -5x/2 + 750/2

y = -2.5x + 375

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by

A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width.  In this rectangle, one dimension is x and the other is y, making the area

A = xy

Substituting the expression for y we just found above, we have

A = x(-2.5x+375)

A = -2.5x² + 375x

This is a quadratic equation, with values a = -2.5, b = 375 and c = 0.

To find the maximum, we will find the vertex.  First we find the axis of symmetry, using the equation

x = -b/2a

x = -375/2(-2.5) = -375/-5 = 75

Substituting this back in place of every x in our area equation, we have

A = -2.5x² + 375x

A = -2.5(75)² + 375(75) = -2.5(5625) + 28125 = -14062.5 + 28125 = 14062.5
