Answer:

Dimensions of the rectangular plot will be 500 ft by 750 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular plot = x ft.

and the width of the plot = y ft.

Cost to fence the length at the cost $3.00 per feet = 3x

Cost to fence the width of the cost $2.00 per feet = 2y

Total cost to fence all sides of rectangular plot = 2(3x + 2y)

2(3x + 2y) = 6,000

3x + 2y = 3,000 ----------(1)

3x + 2y = 3000

      2y = 3000 - 3x

      y = \frac{1}{2}[3000-3x]

      y = 1500 - \frac{3x}{2}

Now area of the rectangle A = xy square feet

A = x[1500-\frac{3x}{2}]

For maximum area \frac{dA}{dx}=0

A' = \frac{d}{dx}(1500x-\frac{3}{2}x^{2}) = 0

1500 - 3x = 0

3x = 1500

x = 500 ft

From equation (1),

y = 1500 - \frac{3}{2}\times 500

y = 1500 - 750

y = 750 ft

Therefore, for the maximum area of the rectangular plot will be 500 ft × 750 ft.

two fencing 3(500+500) = $3000

other two fencing 2(750+750) = $3000

If y-3x=9, 7x+y=25, what is the value of x and y?
lianna [129]

\bold{\rm{Given}}\text{ : If y - 3x = 9, 7x + y = 25, what is the value of x and y}?

\bold{\rm{Solution}} \text{: We'll solve this by substitution method}

\dashrightarrow  y - 3x = 9 \\  \\  \dashrightarrow   \boxed{y = 9 + 3x } \qquad .. \sf eq(1)

\text{we got the value of y now getting the value of x}

\looparrowright 7x + y = 25 \\  \\  \looparrowright 7x = 25 - y \\  \\  \looparrowright  \boxed{x =   \frac{25 - y}{7}} \qquad .. \sf eq(2)

\text{Now, putting y = 9 + 3x in eq(2)}

\hookrightarrow  x =  \frac{25 - y}{7}   \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  x =  \frac{25 - 9 + 3x}{7}  \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  7x =  25 - 9 + 3x \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  7x - 3x =  16 \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  4x = 16 \\  \\ \hookrightarrow  x =  \frac{16}{4}  \\  \\ \star \quad  \boxed{ \green{ \frak{ x = 4}}}

\text{Now we know the value of x, for getting y we need to put x in eq(1)}

: \implies y = 9 + 3x \\  \\   : \implies y = 9 + 3(4) \\  \\  : \implies y = 9 + 12  \\  \\    \star \quad  \boxed{\frak{  \green{y = 21}}}

\text{Hence, values of x and y are} \:  \frak{ \green{4}}  \: \text{and} \:  \frak{ \green{21}} \: \text{respectively}.
