He prefers designer brands, the other ones make no sense as they talk about the designer pants being cheaper. Hope this helps!
2x+3y=60 solve for x...
x=(60-3y)/2
p=xy^3, using x from above:
p=y^3(60-3y)/2
p=(60y^3-3y^4)/2
dp/dy=(180y^2-12y^3)/2
dp/dy=90y^2-6y^2
dp/dy=0 when:
90y^2-6y^3=0
6y^2(15-y)=0, we know y>0 so
y=15, since x=(60-3y)/2
x=7.5
(We solved it this way because otherwise you get quartic equations and cubic derivatives, yuck :P)
Answer:
a. $3600
b. 6:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the question into an equation:
8x - 1/4 x 8x = 5x + 450
(simplify before solving) 6x = 5x + 450
(solve) 6x-5x = 450
x = 450
This means that Jimmy had 8 x 450 $ to start with = 3600
you can check this by subtracting a quarter of 3600 from 3600 and also multiplying 450 by 5 and then obtaining their difference. You get 450!
Now ratio of new amounts:
Jimmy now has: $2700
John still has: $2250
so ratio is 2700:2250
simplify to 6:5
Hope this helps

Given that
(2/x)+(3/y) = 13--------(1)
(5/x)-(4/y) = -2 -------(2)
Put 1/x = a and 1/y = b then
2a + 3b = 13 ----------(3)
On multiplying with 5 then
10a +15 b = 65 -------(4)
and
5a -4b= -2 ----------(5)
On multiplying with 2 then
10 a - 8b = -4 -------(6)
On Subtracting (6) from (4) then
10a + 15b = 65
10a - 8b = -4
(-)
_____________
0 + 23 b = 69
______________
⇛ 23b = 69
⇛ b = 69/23
⇛ b =3
On Substituting the value of b in (5)
5a -4b= -2
⇛ 5a -4(3) = -2
⇛ 5a -12 = -2
⇛ 5a = -2+12
⇛ 5a = 10
⇛ a = 10/5
⇛ a = 2
Now we have
a = 2
⇛1/x = 2
⇛ x = 1/2
and
b = 3
⇛1/y = 3
⇛ y = 1/3
<u>Answer :-</u>The solution for the given problem is (1/2,1/3)
<u>Check</u>: If x = 1/2 and y = 1/3 then
LHS = (2/x)+(3/y)
= 2/(1/2)+3/(1/3)
= (2×2)+(3×3)
= 4+9
= 13
= RHS
LHS=RHS is true
and
LHS=(5/x)-(4/y)
⇛ 5/(1/2)- 4/(1/3)
⇛(5×2)-(4×3)
⇛ 10-12
⇛ -2
⇛RHS
LHS = RHS is true
