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.

Firstly, a straight line = 180 degrees.
Based on the statement above, we can create an equation of 180-95 = x
(Which is 85)
Now, we also know that all of the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so we can create this equation of 180- (85 + 50) = y
(Which is 45)
