Answer:

the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the statement we can make a system of 2x2 equations, where:

"x" is the area of the first field

"y" is the area of the second field

However,

x + y = 56 => x = 56 - y

3/4 * x + 2/3 * y = 40

replacing we have:

3/4 * (56 - y) + 2/3 * y = 40

42 - 3/4 * y + 2/3 * y = 40

-0.0833 * y = 40 - 42

y = -2 / -0.0833

y = 24

now for x:

 x = 56 - 24

x = 32

This means that the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.

When one quarter of a number is subtracted from one third of the number, the result is 7
Rzqust [24]
The number ... n
one quarter of the number ... 1/4 of n = 1/4 * n
one third of the number ... 1/3 of n = 1/3 * n
one quarter of the number is subtracted from one third of the number ... 1/3 * n - 1/4 * n
the result is 7 ... = 7

We can put it together: 
1/3 * n - 1/4 * n = 7
4/12 * n - 3/12 * n = 7
1/12 * n = 7     /*12
n = 7 * 12
n = 84

The number you are looking for is 84.

What does noncollinear
Anit [1.1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  not on the same line

Step-by-step explanation:

Any two distinct points define a line. Additional points may or may not be on that line. If they are on the line, they are collinear with other points on the same line.

Any point not on the line is noncollinear with the points that are on the line.
