I would think this is many solutions, the reason is because, there is no specific answer (y) so, x could be anything because it would have to equal to y, which could also be anything! I hope im right! Sorry if im wrong!
Answer:
y = 1.6x
Step-by-step explanation:
y is the total amount/pounds of almonds that Lark bought. x is the amount that Tessa bought. 3/5 is the same as 0.6. If we multiplied Tessa's amount by 0.6 it would decrease by 2/5 so we have to add 1 to make it 1.6. To find how much Lark bought multiply 1.6 and Tessa's amount.

Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the enclosure that is most economical to construct are; x = 14.22 ft and y = 22.5 ft
<h3>How to maximize area?</h3>
Let the length of the rectangular area be x feet
Let the width of the area = y feet
Area of the rectangle = xy square feet
Or xy = 320 square feet
y = 320/x -----(1)
Cost to fence the three sides = $6 per foot
Therefore cost to fence one length and two width of the rectangular area
= 6(x + 2y)
Similarly cost to fence the fourth side = $13 per foot
So, the cost of the remaining length = 13x
Total cost to fence = 6(x + 2y) + 13x
Cost (C) = 6(x + 2y) + 13x
C = 6x + 12y + 13x
C = 19x + 12y
From equation (1),
C = 19x + 12(320/x)
C' = 19 - 3840/x²
At C' = 0, we have;
19 - 3840/x² = 0
19 = 3840/x²
19x² = 3840
x² = 3840/19
x = √(3840/19)
x = 14.22 ft
y = 320/14.22
y = 22.5 ft
