One bag of popcorn would cost $6.50

To solve this, we can set up equations:
28p+40c=$282
17p+20c=$160.50

To solve this system, we would need to make either the candy bars the same or the bags of popcorn the same. Since we are solving for bags of popcorn, we will make the candy bars the same:
20(28p+40c=$282)
40(17p+20c=$160.50)

Which would give you:
560p+800c=$5,640
680p+800c=$6,420

Subtract them:
 (680p+800c=$6,420)
-(560p+800c=$5,640)
_________________
120p=$780

Now divide by 120 to get the price of one bag of popcorn:
120p=$780
_________
       120

p=$6.50

Find the maxmium area of a rectangular plot of land which can be enclosed by rope of length 60 metres​
mario62 [17]

Answer:

225 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

If W is the width of the rectangle, and L is the length, then:

60 = 2W + 2L

A = WL

Use the first equation to solve for one of the variables:

30 = W + L

L = 30 − W

Substitute into the second equation:

A = W (30 − W)

A = 30W − W²

This is a parabola, so we can find the vertex using the formula x = -b/(2a).

W = -30 / (2 × -1)

W = 15

Or, we can use calculus:

dA/dW = 30 − 2W

0 = 30 − 2W

W = 15

Solving for L:

L = 30 − W

L = 15

So the maximum area is:

A = WL

A = (15)(15)

A = 225

Through: (3, -5) and (0, -2) <br><br><br>please add the steps please.​
Vlad [161]
1: -5 = 3m + c
2: -2 = 0 + c

From equation 2, we knew c = -2
So we sub into equation 1 and got the value of m

-5 = 3m - 2
m = -1

The equation of line is y = -x - 2
