Answer:

3500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.

Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.

Therefore:

g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5

That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:

1400 = 2c/5

To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:

1400 = 2c/5

1400 * 5 = 2c

7000 = 2c

c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons

The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.

For each rectangle below, write a linear equation that represents the area y of the rectangle. Solve this system of two linear e
Hatshy [7]

(5,24)

  • The two areas are the same.

  • To find the area, we multiply the side lengths. Y=area

Rectangle 1: side lengths 4 and (x+1)

y=4(x+1)= 4x+4

Rectangle 2: side lengths 3 and (2x-2)

y=3(2x-2)= 6x-6

  • Since the two areas are same, we can conclude that

4x+4=6x-6

  • Now, simplify.

-2x=-10, x=5

  • Since x is 5, we can plug it into the equations to find y.

Option 1 with rectangle 1: y=4(5)+4, y=24

Option 2 with rectangle 2: y=6(5)-5, y=24

I graphed the linear equation on desmos.
