Answer:

The farmer planted 270 acres of corn and 160 acres of wheat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the acres of corn be = x

Let the acres of wheat be = y

Total acres of land = 430

So, we have x+y=430 or x=430-y    .....(1)

The cost of planting and harvesting corn is $280 per acre. The cost of planting and harvesting wheat is $125 per acre. The farmer spent $95600 on plantation.

We get another equation as:

280x+125y=95600      .....(2)

Substituting the value of x from (1)

280(430-y)+125y=95600

=> 120400-280y+125y=95600

=> -280y+125y=95600-120400

=> -155y=-24800

y = 160

And x = 430-160

x = 270

So, the farmer planted 270 acres of corn and 160 acres of wheat.

Serggg [28]
This is the associative property. Basically if you move the parenthesis either to left or right you’ll still get the right answer. So 4 times 5 equals 20 and 20 times 3 equals 60. 3 x 4 equals 12 and 12 x 5 equals 60

nlexa [21]

The simplified expression would be 3s + 15.

In order to find this we need to write an equation for the longest side. Since it's 3 more than twice as much as the smallest side (s), we can express it as 2s + 3. Now we simply add all 3 together and simplify.

2s + 3 + 12 + s -----> simplify

3s + 15
