Lets have 4x acres of soybeans , then it is going to be 9x acres of corn
(4x/9x=4/9)
Altogether we have (4x+9x) acres
Altogether he planted 400 acres
So, we can write
4x+9x=400
13x=400
x=400/13
4x acres of soybeans
4*400/13≈123 acres of soybeans
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the numbers "<em>tu</em>", where<em> t</em> is the tens digit and <em>u</em> is the units digit.
We can solve this by the "brute force" method — examining each number to see if it satisfies the conditions.


9y - 5x = 20
or, (9y - 5x) / 20 = 1
or, 9/20 y - 1/4 x = 1
compare with x/a + y/b = 1
you'll get
x intercept (a) = -4
y intercept (b) = 20/9
