A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. Let use "W" to represent the Wheat and let use "C" to represent the corn. Hence, we have below:
W=C+480

The farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn and the area of the wheat is 300 acres less than the area of the corn:
W-0.8W=C-0.25C+300
0.2W=0.75C+300
We have two equations, two unknowns:
0.2(C+480)=0.75C+300
0.2C+96=0.75C+300
0.55C=294
C=534.55

Answer:

wheat acres is 1200.Corn acres is 720.

Step-by-step explanation:

A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn.W represent wheat.C represents corn.So the equation for this part is:W=C+480.

After the farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn, the area of the wheat was 300 acres less than the area of the corn. So the equation is:W-w-0.8W+300=C-0.25C.which simplfies to:

0.2W+300=0.75C

we have 2 eqations with unknown variables.

W=C+480

0.2W+300=0.75C

we will use the substitution method by plugging in the first equation into the second equation.

0.2(C+480)+300=0.75C.

now solve for C.

0.2C+96+300=0.75C.

396=0.55C

C=720.

solve for W:

W=C+480

W=720+480

W=1200

Find the volume of a sphere that has a surface area of 16 sq. in.
Vaselesa [24]
Given the surface area of the sphere, for us to obtain the volume we need to get the value of the radius. The surface area of the sphere is given by:
S.A=4πr^2
hence the radius can be calculated as follows;
16=4πr^2
4=πr^2
r=(4/π)^(1/2)
volume of a sphere is given by:
V=4/3πr^3
=4/3*π*(4/π)^(1/2))^3
=32/3 cubic inches

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. (6m -7)\cdot 4 =(6m−7)⋅4=left parenthesis, 6, m, minus, 7, r
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

(6m-7)\cdot4 is equivalent to 24m-28

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property enables us get rid of parentheses by multiplying the term outside by each of the term inside; a bit like algebraic expansion

It states that:

(a+b)\cdot c = a\cdot c+ b\cdot c

Therefore (6m-7)\cdot4=6m\cdot4-7\cdot4=24m-28

Thus 24m-28 is the equivalent expression
