Subtract 2b by both sides which gets -b+4=-5 then subtract 4 by both sides so you get -b=-9 and divide -1 by both sides so that b=9
5x = 2x + 9, where 5x > 0 and 2x + 9 > 0 ;
Then, 3x = 9 ;
Then, x = 3 ;
Verify : 5 × 3 = 2 × 3 + 9 ;correct !
5 × 3 > 0 ; correct !
2 × 3 + 9 > 0; correct !
Let the length be x and the width be w
The perimeter will be:
2x+3w=1500
thus
3w=(1500-2x)
w=(1500-2x)/3
w=500-2/3x
The area will be:
A=x*w
A=x(500-2/3x)
A=500x-(2/3)x²
The above is a quadratic equation; thus finding the axis of symmetry we will evaluate for the value of x that will give us maximum area.
Axis of symmetry:
x=-b/(2a)
from our equation:
a=(-2/3) and b=500
thus
x=-500/[2(-2/3)]
x=375
the length will be 375 m
The width will be 250 m
To answer this you would divide 52 by 2.60 which is 20,
So, 28 / 20 = 1.40,
So the answer is $140 sales tax.
Hope this helps.
