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

Which equations represent circles that have a diameter of 12 units and a center that lies on the y-axis
Tju [1.3M]

The equations representing the circle having a diameter of 12 units and a center lying on y-axis are <u>x² + (y – 3)² = 36</u>, and <u>x² + (y + 8)² = 36</u>, making <u>options 1, and 5</u> the two choices.

In the question, we are looking for the equations of the circle having a diameter of 12 units and a center lying on y-axis.

The standard form of the equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² + r², where (h, k) is the center of the circle, and r is its radius.

A circle having a diameter of 12 units, will have a radius of 12/2 = 6 units. Thus, r = 6.

A circle having the center on the y-axis will have a center as (0, k) as all points on the y-axis have x-coordinate 0.

Thus, the equation of the circle, with a diameter of 12 units and the center lying on the y-axis takes the form:

x² + (y - k)² = 6², or, x² + (y - k)² = 36.

From the given options, the equations <u>x² + (y – 3)² = 36</u>, and <u>x² + (y + 8)² = 36</u>, are of this form.

Thus, the equations representing the circle having a diameter of 12 units and a center lying on y-axis are <u>x² + (y – 3)² = 36</u>, and <u>x² + (y + 8)² = 36</u>, making <u>options 1, and 5</u> the two choices.

The provided question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which equations represent circles that have a diameter of 12 units and a center that lies on the y-axis? Select two options.

  1. x² + (y – 3)² = 36
  2. x² + (y – 5)² = 6
  3. (x – 4)² + y² = 36
  4. (x + 6)² + y² = 144
  5. x² + (y + 8)² = 36."
