If the width of the garden is w, then the maximum area available is a square, giving you w² as the dimensions. So:
w²=-w²+28w
2w²=28w
w=14
The perimeter is 14 x 4, or 56 feet
How many seed packets??? No idea

5x + 9y = 0
to find the x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
5x + 9(0) = 0
5x = 0
x = 0
to find the y int, sub in 0 for x and solve for y
5(0) + 9y = 0
9y = 0
y = 0
the reason u cannot use just the intercepts is because the line goes through the origin (0,0)....The intercepts coincide giving u only 1 point...and that is not enough to graph a line
2 equations: the first one is the sum of 2 unknown numbers x and y: x + y = 72. Now the difference is 25, so x - y = 25. Solve the first equation for y: y = 72 - x. Sub that into the second equation to solve for x: x - (72 - x) = 25. x - 72 + x = 25 and 2x - 72 = 25. Therefore, 2x = 97 and x = 48.5 That's the larger of the 2 numbers; since we subtracted y from x we defined x as the larger of the 2. Just for fun, plug x in to find that y = 23.5
