The Johnson Farm has 500 acres of land allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. The cost of cultivating corn and wheat (includin

g seeds and labor) is $42 and $30 per acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $16,200 available for cultivating these crops. If he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant? (Let x and y denote the number of acres of corn and wheat, respectively.)

Answer:

He should plant 100 acres of corn and 400 acres of wheat.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by a siple system of equations.

]x denotes the number of acres of corn

y denotes the number of acres of wheat

Building the system:

The Johnson Farm has 500 acres of land allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. This means that:

x + y = 500

The cost of cultivating corn and wheat (including seeds and labor) is $42 and $30 per acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $16,200 available for cultivating these crops. This means that:

42x + 30y = 16,200

So, we have the following system

1) x + y = 500

2) 42x + 30y = 16,200

If he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant?

1) x + y = 500

2) 42x + 30y = 16,200

I am going to write y as a function of x in 1), and replace in 2). So:

x + y = 500 means that y = 500-x

42x + 30y = 16,200

42x + 30(500-x) = 16,200

42x + 15000 - 30x = 16,200

12x = 1,200

x = \frac{1,200}{12}

x = 100

Now, going back to 1:

y = 500 - x = 500 - 100 = 400

He should plant 100 acres of corn and 400 acres of wheat.

Hi I also need help with this please and thank you

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y intercept

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-2-4)/(2+1)

m=-2 so far we have the slope

y=-2x+b, using point (2,-2) we can solve for b, the y intercept

-2=-2(2)+b

-2=-4+b

2=b so we have our line

y=-2x+2, slope is -2 and y intercept is 2

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ YXW = ∠ ZXV ( vertically opposite angles ) , so

4a + 15 = 2a + 65 ( subtract 2a from both sides )

2a + 15 = 65 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2a = 50 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 25

Then

(7)

∠ ZXV = 2a + 65 = 2(25) + 65 = 50 + 65 = 115°

(8)

∠ YXW = ∠ ZXV = 115°

∠ ZXY and ∠ ZXV are adjacent angles and sum to 180° , that is

(9)

∠ ZXY = 180° - 115° = 65°

(10)

∠ VXW = ∠ ZXY = 65° ( vertically opposite angles

AD is a diameter of a circle and AB is a chord. If AD=34cm, AB=30cm, the distance of AB from the centre of the circle is :
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

   The distance is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The chord and the diameter form one leg and the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The other leg, BD, has length ...

  BD² +AB² = AD²

  BD² = AD² -AB² = 34² -30² = 256

  BD = √256 = 16

The segment from the center of the circle to the midpoint of the chord is the midline of triangle ABD, so is half the length of BD.

  distance from AB to the center = 16/2 = 8 . . . cm
