Answer:

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

He can buy up to 14 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money ≥number of peppermints * cost per peppermint + number of sour candies * cost per sour candy

We know he has 5 dollars.  He bought 5 peppermints at $.15 cents each and x sour candies at $.25 each

Substituting in

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

5≥1.35 + .25x

Subtract 1.35 on each side

5-1.35 ≥ 1.35-1.35+.25x

3.65≥.25x

Divide by .25 on each side

3.65/.25 ≥ .25x/.25

14.6 ≥ x

He can buy up to 14 candies.  You can't buy part of a candy

Juan wishes to build a garden at the bottom of his property. He wants to split it in two, like the diagram below, so he can plan
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

20 ft by 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

"What should the dimensions of the garden be to maximize this area?"

If y is the length of the garden, parallel to the stream, and x is the width of the garden, then the amount of fencing is:

120 = 3x + y

And the area is:

A = xy

Use substitution:

A = x (120 − 3x)

A = -3x² + 120x

This is a downward facing parabola.  The maximum is at the vertex, which we can find using x = -b/(2a).

x = -120 / (2 · -3)

x = 20

When x = 20, y = 60.  So the garden should be 20 ft by 60 ft.
