Answer:

16 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the operating cost for 1 acre.  Find that by dividing $551,520 by 20 acres.  That gives us $27,576 per acre.  Now we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of acres that have an operating cost of $441,216:

\frac{cost}{acre}:\frac{27,576}{1}=\frac{441,216}{x}

Cross multiply to get:

27576x = 441216 so

x = 16

We did not have to find the cost per acre to solve this.  We could have set up the proportion with $551,520 on the top of the ratio and 20 on the bottom and we would still have gotten the same answer.  I just figured the numbers wouldn't be as large if we divided to find the cost per unit.

\bf 3^{4x}=27^{x-3}\implies 3^{4x}=(3^3)^{x-3}\stackrel{~\hfill \textit{same base, the exponents must also be the same}}{\implies 3^{4x}=3^{3(x-3)}\implies 3^{4x}=3^{3x-9}\qquad } \\\\\\ 4x=3x-9\implies x=-9
