Let the lengths of the sides of the rectangle be x and y. Then A(Area) = xy and 2(x+y)=300. You can use substitution to make one equation that gives A in terms of either x or y instead of both.
2(x+y) = 300
x+y = 150
y = 150-x
A=x(150-x) <--(substitution)
The resulting equation is a quadratic equation that is concave down, so it has an absolute maximum. The x value of this maximum is going to be halfway between the zeroes of the function. The zeroes of the function can be found by setting A equal to 0:
0=x(150-x)
x=0, 150
So halfway between the zeroes is 75. Plug this into the quadratic equation to find the maximum area.
A=75(150-75)
A=75*75
A=5625
So the maximum area that can be enclosed is 5625 square feet.
Using proportions, it is found that Mason ran 620 meters.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Considering the ratio, the <em>rule of three</em> is given as follows:
2 laps for Mason - 3 laps for Laney.
n meters for Mason - 930 meters for Mason.
Applying cross multiplication:
3n = 930 x 2
n = 930 x 2/3
n = 620
Mason ran 620 meters.

These are relatively simple it’s just understanding the relations of x and y values :)
Answer:
2(2q+7)(3q-2)=0
Step-by-step explanation:
lets set up the equation equal to 0:
12q^2+34q-28=0
now, lets factor:
2(6q^2+17q-14)=0
2(2q+7)(3q-2)=0
now, lets find the solutions:
2q+7=0
2q=-7
q=-3.5
3q-2=0
3q=2
q=2/3
