Answer:
There is no unique solution to this problem.
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let B denotes broccoli crop
Let S denotes spinach crop
Last year, he grew 6 tons of broccoli per acre and 9 tons of spinach per acre, for a total of 93 tons of vegetables.
Mathematically,
6B + 9S = 93 eq. 1
This year, he grew 2 tons of broccoli per acre and 3 tons of spinach per acre, for a total of 31 tons of vegetables.
Mathematically,
2B + 3S = 31
2B = 31 - 3S
B = (31 - 3S)/2 eq. 2
Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1
6B + 9S = 93
6[(31 - 3S)/2] + 9S = 93
3(31 - 3S) + 9S = 93
93 - 9S + 9S = 93
- 9S + 9S = 93 - 93
0 = 0
Therefore, there is no unique solution to this problem.
Which means that there are infinitely many solutions to this problem.
You can solve this problem by using the Gauss method. The Gauss method is a method where you can add the first and last numbers together, and then multiply by how many times that appears. Here, the sum of the first and last number is -11. In this sequence, it would appear ten times (since there are ten terms and the terms are used twice in every eleven). -11 * 5 is -55, so that means the answer to this question is -55.
