"The sum of three numbers is 85"

x+y+z = 85

"The second number is 7 more than the first."

y = x+7

"The third is 2 more than four times the second."

z = 4y+2

z = 4(x+7) + 2 = 4x+30


x + (x+7) + (4x+30) = 85

6x = 48

x = 8

y = x+7 = 15

z = 4x+30 = 62

Hope this helps!

Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number

8+15+62=85
85=85

A home gardener estimates that 18 apple trees will produce an average yield of 80 apples per tree. But because of the size of th
aliina [53]

19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

<h3>How many trees should be planted to maximize the total</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters:

Number of apples, x = 18

Yield, f(x) = 80 per tree

When the number of apple trees is increased (say by x).

We have:

Trees = 18 + x

The yield decreases by four apples per tree.

So, we have

Yield = 80 - 4x

So, the profit function is

P(x) = Apples * Yield

This gives

P(x) = (18 + x) *(80 - 4x)

Expand the bracket

P(x) = 1440 - 72x + 80x - 4x^2

Differentiate the function

P'(x) = 0 - 72 + 80 - 8x

Evaluate the like terms

P'(x) = 8 - 8x

Set P'(x) to 0

8 - 8x = 0

Divide through by 8

1 - x = 0

Solve for x

x = 1

Recall that:

Trees = 18 + x

So, we have

Trees = 18 + 1

Evaluate

Trees = 19

Hence, 19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between −40°C and 125°C. To covert Celsius temperature to
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between -40°C and 125°C.

So inequality which models this situation will be -40°C < T < 125°C

Now we have to show this inequality in Fahrenheit temperature with the help of C=\frac{5}{9} (F-32)

So the compound inequality in Fahrenheit temperature will be

-40 < \frac{5}{9} (F-32) < 125
