2(2x-6)=28
4x-12=28
4x=28-12
4x=16
4x÷4=16÷4
X=4

You must divide both 4x and 16 by 4 because you're trying to isolate X and find what X is. I hope I helped.

walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts p
laila [671]

Answer:

5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

The maximum yield would be 1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original number of trees per acre = 20,

Average pounds of nuts by a tree = 60,

Let x be the times of increment in number of trees,

So, the new number of trees planted per acre = 20 + x

∵ for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds,

So, the new number of pounds of nut = (60 - 2x)

Thus, the total yield per acre,

Y(x) = (20+x)(60-2x)

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

Y'(x) = (20+x)(-2) + 60 - 2x = -40 - 2x + 60 - 2x = 20 - 4x

Again differentiating with respect to t,

Y''(x) = -4

For maxima or minima,

Y'(x) = 0

⇒ 20 - 4x = 0

⇒ 20 = 4x

⇒ x = 5,

For x = 5, Y''(x) = negative,

Hence, Y(x) is maximum for x = 5,

And, maximum value of Y(x) = (20+5)(60 - 10) = 25(50) = 1250,

i.e. 5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

and the maximum yield would be 1250 pounds

Eighty, decreased by three times a
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The number is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write this as an equation first. We'll substitute the number for the variable <em>x</em>.

80 - 3x = 5x + 8

First, let's add 3x to both sides.

80 - 3x + 3x = 5x + 3x + 8

80 = 8x + 8

Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides.

80 - 8 = 8x + 8 - 8

72 = 8x

Finally, let's divide both sides by 8.

72/8 = 8x/8

9 = x

<em>"x" is 9.</em>

<em>So the secret number is 9.</em>

P.S.

This is my first answer to a Brainly question so please don't complain!

A wildlife shelter is home to birds, mammals, and reptiles. If cat chow is sold in 30 lb bags, what is the least number of bags
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

26 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of cat chows = 30 lbs

Amount of cat chows needed in a week = 15 lbs = ½ bag of cat chow

There are at least 52 weeks in a year.

The least number of cat chows bags needed at the shelter in 1 year = 52 weeks × ½ bag of chow

= 52 × ½

= 52/2

= 26 bags of cat chow

At least, 26 bags would be needed in 1 year (52 weeks) at this wild life shelter if 15 lbs is consumed weekly.
