Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = 5, then plug 5 in for x .
3(5) + 7
15 + 7 = 22

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here. We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is
1 bball = 2.5 fballs
This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:
1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs
or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold. Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.

Answer:
The largest area enclosed is A = xy = 6 feet 
6 feet = 36 
Step-by-step explanation:
i) The perimeter of the area is 2(x + y) =24 ∴ x + y = 12 ∴ y = 12 - x
ii) The area of rectangle enclosed A = xy ⇒ A = x ( 12 - x) = 12x - 
iii) differentiating both sides of the equation in ii) we get
⇒ x = 6 feet
iv) Differentiating both sides of equation in iii) we get 
= -2
Therefore the area enclosed is maximum as the double derivative is negative
v) therefore for largest area enclosed x = 6 feet and y = 12 - 6 = 6 feet
vi) therefore the largest area enclosed is
A = xy = 6 feet 6 feet = 36
