Who's JD?   I'll guess that's money in some country.

This one requires a bit of analysis before writing the equation.  3pm is the time the price changes so

11am to 5 is 4 hours before, 2 hours after, JD18

9am to 7 is 6 hours before, 4 hours after, JD31

OK, let's call the morning rate x and the evening rate y.  

a.

Rate times hours is cost; we have to add up the morning and evening:

4x + 2y = 18

6x + 4y = 31

b.

We multiply the first equation by 2,

8x + 4y = 36

Subtract the second equation,

2x = 36 - 31 = 5

x = 5/2

2y = 18 - 4x

y = 9 - 2x = 9 - 5 = 4

Answer: Our solution is the price was JD 2.50 before 3pm and JD 4 after.

Check:  

2.5(4) + 4(2) = 18 good

2.5(6) + 4(3) = 31 good

What did they do wrong?
Tatiana [17]
They didn’t distribute the -1 (which is the “-”) correctly into the numbers in the parentheses. After distributing correctly, step 1 should be
8a+3+5a-2a

Hope this helps :)

A rancher has 4000 ft. of fence for constructing a rectangular corral that is divided into 3 equal sections. one side of the cor
ryzh [129]
Let x and y be the sides of the rectangular corral. Therefore,
Area, A = x*y = xy

Additionally, let the side bordering the barn be x. Then,
Circumference, C = x+y+y = x+2y = 4000 ft => x = 4000 - 2y

Substituting for x in the area equation,

A = (4000-2y)y = 4000y - 2y^2

For maximum area, dA/dy = 0

Then,
dA/dy = 4000 - 4y = 0 => 4000 = 4y => y = 4000/4 = 1000 ft

And x = 4000 - 2y = 4000 - 2*1000 = 4000 - 2000 = 2000 ft

The  dimensions of the corral are: 2000 ft by 1000 ft.

Area, A = xy = 2000*1000 = 2000,000 ft^2
