Brice wants to build a table and put a border around it. The table and border must have an area of 3,006 square inches. The tabl

e is 36 inches wide and 72 inches long without the border. Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the border, x?
A. 4x2 + 216x + 2,592 = 0

B. 4x2 + 216x − 414 = 0

C. 2x2 + 216x − 3,004 = 0

D. x2 + 108x + 2,592 = 0

B is the correct answer.

We are adding the border of x thickness to all 4 sides of the table.  This makes the new width of the table 36+x+x = 36+2x and the new length of the table 72+x+x=72+2x.  To find the area, we multiply the length and width:

(36+2x)(72+2x) = 3006

Multiplying the binomials, we get:
36*72 + 36*2x + 2x*72 + 2x*2x = 3006
2592 + 72x + 144x + 4x² = 3006

Combining like terms gets us
2592 + 216x + 4x² = 3006

Subtract 3006 from both sides:
2592 + 216x + 4x² - 3006 = 3006 - 3006
-414 + 216x + 4x² = 0

Writing in standard form we have
4x²+216x-414=0

CHCK Farms raises hens and roosters. They have enough space to raise at most 300 birds per year. Each hen eats 80 pounds of food
svp [43]

<u>Answer</u>:

The number of hens is 100 and the number of roosters is 200.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let the number of hens be x and the number of roosters be y

then the total number of  hens and roosters, is 300

so,

x+y \leq 300----------------------------(1)

Also  the hen eats 80 pounds of food per year and roosters eats 60 pounds of food per year,

80x+60y \leq 20000----------------(2)

To solve the equations , multilpy eq(1) by 80

80x+80y \leq 24000------------------(3)

Subracting (2) from (3)

20y \leq 4000

y \leq 200

substituting y in eq(1) we get

x+200 \leq 300

x \leq 300-200

x \leq 100
