Solve the system using elimination

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(x, y) = (3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 9 → (1)

x + 5y = 8 → (2)

multiplying (2) by - 2 then adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x

multiply (2) by - 2

- 2x - 10y = - 16 → (3)

add 1(1) and (3) term by term

(2x - 2x) + (3y - 10y) = (9 - 16)

- 7y = - 7 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in either (1) or (2) and solve for x

(1) : 2x + 3 = 9 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Solution is (3, 1 )

There is 1500 ft of fencing available to make 6 identical pens. Find the maximum area for EACH pen (meaning maximum of one pen).
hjlf

Answer:

The maximum area is therefore is 93750 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter are;

The a]length of fencing available = 1500 ft.

The perimeter of the figure = 9·x + 4·y

Therefore, 9·x + 4·y = 1500 ft.

The area of the figure = 6 × (x × y) = 3·x × 2·y

From the equation for the perimeter, we have;

9·x + 4·y = 1500

y = 1500/4 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4·x

y = 375 - 9/4·x

Substituting the value of y in the equation for the area gives;

Area = 3·x × 2·y = 3·x × 2·(375 - 9/4·x) = 2250·x - 27/2·x²

Area = 2250·x - 27/2·x²

The maximum area is found by taking the derivative and equating to zero as follows;

d(2250·x - 27/2·x²)/dx = 0

2250 - 27·x = 0

x = 2250/27 = 250/3

x = 250/3

y = 375 - 9/4·x = 375 - 9/4×250/3 = 187.5

The maximum area is therefore, 3·x × 2·y = 3 × 250/3 × 2 × 187.5 = 93750 ft²

The maximum area is therefore = 93750 ft.²
