30x+40(50-x)=1800
Solve for x
X=20 for the first car

50-20=30 for the second car

One car 40 miles /gallon
other car 30 miles/gallon
..
Total miles = 165
gas used = 45 gallons
...
let first car drive x miles
second car drive y miles
..
x/40 + y/30 = 45
(30x+40y)/30*40 = 45
30x+40y = 45*40*30
30x+40y=54,000

One 3.8 lb bag of fertilizer covers 1000 square feet each bag cost $9.95 the square feet of the yard is 1307.25 ft squared how m
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Exactly 1.30725 bags are needed to cover the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a yard with a surface of 1307.25 square feet.

We know that one bag of fertilizer covers 1000 square feet.

We want to know how many bags are needed to cover the garden. We can calculate the number of bags as:

B=S\cdot b=1307.25\;\text{sq.ft.}\cdot \dfrac{1\,\text{bag}}{1000\,\text{sq.ft.}}=1.30725\,\text{bags}

B: number of bags needed for the yard.

S: surface of the yard.

b: number of bags per square foot.

An open rectangular box is 4 feet long and has a surface area of 20 square feet. Find the dimensions of the box for which the vo
sweet-ann [11.9K]
SA=2H(L+W)+LW for open box
20=2H(4+W)+4(W)
distribute
20=8H+2WH+4W
divide both sides by 2
10=4H+WH+2W
solve for 1 variable, pick W
10-4H=WH+2W
10-4H=W(H+2)
(10-4H)/(H+2)=W

V=LWH
subsitute 4 for V, subsitute H for H and (10-4H)/(H+2) for W
V=(4)(H)(10-4H)/(H+2)
V=(40H-16H²)/(H+2)
find max value
take deritivitive of this thing
V'=-16(H²+4H-5)/((H+2)²)
using sign chart
sign changes from positive to negative at H=1

so at H=1
find W

W=(10-4H)/(H+2)
W=2

the dimeionts are

length=4ft
width=2ft
height=1ft
(the volume is 8 cubic feet)

the sum of the digits of a certain two-digits number is 7.Reversing its digits increases the number by 9.What is the number
rusak2 [61]
Unit digit=y
tens digit=x
the number: 10x+y

We suggest this system of equations:
x+y=7
(10y+x)=(10x+y)+9
we solve it by substitution method.
x=7-y
10y+(7-y)=(10(7-y)+y)+9
9y+7=70-10y+y+9
9y+10y-y=70+9-7
18y=72
y=72/18=4

x=7-y
x=7-4=3

number=10x+y=10*3+4=30+4=34

solution: the number: 34

To check:
3+4=7
43=34+9
