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

An employment agency specializing in temporary construction help pays heavy equipment operators
pochemuha
Answer:
Number of heavy equipment operators hired were 22
Number of general laborers hired were 11

Explanation:
Assume that number of heavy equipment operators hired is x and that number of general laborers is y.

We are given that:
1- Total number of hired people is 33. This means that:
x + y = 33
This can be rewritten as:
x = 33 - y ...........> equation I
2- heavy equipment operators are paid $135, general laborers are paid $89 and that the total payment was $3949. This means that:
135x + 89y = 3949 ............> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
135x + 89y = 3949
135(33-y) + 89y = 3949
4455 - 135y + 89y = 3949
506 = 46y
y = 506 / 46
y = 11

Substitute with y in equation I to get the value of x as follows:
x = 33 - y
x = 33 - 11
x = 22

Hope this helps :)
