Shorter side: 130ft
longer side: 260ft
greatest possible area: 33800ft^2
basically get the equations for area and perimeter which will be
A: lw (length x width)
P: l + 2w
Substitute them into eachother and you get the equation:
-2w^2+520w = A
find the vertex of this parabola which will give you the greatest width which is 130m
Then u can find length and area from this width
It will take about 5.75 days. basicly 5 days and 18 hours.
divide hours by total, and then find out 75 percent of 24
Let n = cost of 1 notebook
Let p = cost of 1 pencil
Then,
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
You can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute into the remaining equation.
3n + 4p = 8.5
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
Multiply the top equation by -2 so that the p-containing terms cancel each other out:
-2(3n + 4p = 8.5)
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
-n + 0 = -2.5
So after dividing both sides by -1, we see that n = $2.5. Plugging into the first equation gives p = $0.25.
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
