Answer:

largest area that can be enclosed = 8,000,000 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a rectangle plot, the area is expressed as; A = xy, where x is length and y is width.

Because it is next to the river, he only needs to fence three sides, so amount of fencing; F = x + 2y.

Since we know the amount of fencing available is 8000m, we get:

8000 = x + 2y

solving for x, we have;

x = 8000 - 2y

substitute 8000 - 2y for x into the area equation to give;

A = (8000 - 2y)y distribute

A = -2y² + 8000y

Now, due to the negative sign next to 2, this will be a parabola which opens down, meaning that the point of maximum area will be at the vertex,

Thus; y = -b/2a = -8000/[2(-2)] = 2000

x = 8000 - 2(2000) = 4000

A = 4000(2000) = 8,000,000 m²

Emani has $10.00 to spend at the grocery store. So far, in her basket, she has 6 cans of soup that cost $0.47 each and a gallon
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

$3.30

Step-by-step explanation:

6×0.47=2.82 (money spent on soup)

2.82+3.88=6.70 (total money spent on soup and milk)

10.00-6.70=3.30 (money she has left after buying soup and milk)

Simplify: ? (10x = 105 - (12x – 247)​
Greeley [361]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

10x = 105 - (12x - 247) //Distribute - sign

10x = 105 - 12x + 247 // Add 12x & combine like terms

10x + 12x = 352

22x = 352 //Divide 22

x = 352/22

x = 16

Solve the following system using either linear combination or substitution. Round any answers to the hundredths place. Show all

So if y=-5x-23 then we can plug that value in for y in x-10y=6, so it becomes

x-10(-5x-23)=6

x+50x+230=6

51x=-224

x=-4.39

plug this x value into the equation y=-5x-23

y=-5(-4.39)-23

y=21.95-23

y=-1.05
