X - 5(x - 1) = x - (2x - 3)

You distribute -5 to (x-1) and the negative sign to (2x-3). From there it becomes basic algebra and you add 4x to both sides and subtract 3 from both sides giving you 3x=2 from there you divide 2 by 3 getting 2/3 or 0.666666...

Is (5, 8) a solution to this system of inequalities?<br><br> x + y ≤ 18<br> x ≥ 6

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y ≤ 18

x ≥ 6

(5,8)

The second inequality states that x must be greater than or equal to 6, but x =5 so it is not a solution

Please help me, i promise its worth it!!!

Rashid [163]

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(L+B)=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2(\dfrac{4}{3}x+x)=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{8}{3}x+2x=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{8x+6x}{3}=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{14x}{3}=55$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 14x=165$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=11.78$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x\approx 12$

Now

B=x=12
L=4/3(12)=4(4)=16

A farmer wishes to enclose a rectangular pasture with 1200 ft of fence. He needs to divide this rectangle into two smaller recta

Minchanka [31]

Answer: $60,000 ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

total of 1200 ft of fence is available

Suppose rectangular pasture has following dimension as shown in figure.

total perimeter

$P=4a+3b$

$1200=4a+3b$

$4a=1200-3b$

$a=300-\frac{3}{4}b$

Area of rectangle is

$A=2a\times b$

$A=2(300-\frac{3}{4}b)b$

$A=2[300 b-\frac{3}{4}b^2]$

For maximum area, differentiate A w.r.t b

$\frac{\mathrm{d} A}{\mathrm{d} b}=300-\frac{3}{2}b=0$

$300=\frac{3}{2}b$

$b=200 ft$

so $a=300-150=150\ ft$

so area is

$A=2\times 150\times 200$

$A=60,000 ft^2$
