Solve for x.<br> -6x = -18

marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to get the x to be on one side of the equation on its own.

-6x = -18

To get rid of the -6, we would have to do the opposite of what it's doing in the equation - in this case, we would divide, as it's the opposite of multiplying.

What we do to one side of the equation, we have to do to the other.

-6x/-6 = x

-18/-6 = 3

x = 3

Hope that makes sense!

A rancher wants to fence in an area of 1500000 square feet in a rectangular field and then divide it in half with a fence down t

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

6000 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangular field=x

Breadth of rectangular field=y

Area of rectangular field= $1500000$ square ft

Area of rectangular field= $l\times b$

Area of rectangular field= $x\time y$

$1500000=xy$

$y=\frac{1500000}{x}$

Fencing used ,P(x)= $x+x+y+y+y=2x+3y$

Substitute the value of y

P(x)= $2x+3(\frac{1500000}{x})$

$P(x)=2x+\frac{4500000}{x}$

Differentiate w.r.t x

$P'(x)=2-\frac{4500000}{x^2}$

Using formula: $\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1}$

$P'(x)=0$

$2-\frac{4500000}{x^2}=0$

$\frac{4500000}{x^2}=2$

$x^2=\frac{4500000}{2}=2250000$

$x=\sqrt{2250000}=1500$

It is always positive because length is always positive.

Again differentiate w.r.t x

$P''(x)=\frac{9000000}{x^3}$

Substitute x=1500

$P''(1500)=\frac{9000000}{(1500)^3}>0$

Hence, fencing is minimum at x=1 500

Substitute x=1 500

$y=\frac{1500000}{1500}=1000$

Length of rectangular field=1500 ft

Breadth of rectangular field=1000 ft

Substitute the values

Shortest length of fence used= $2(1500)+3(1000)=6000 ft$

Hence, the shortest length of fence that the rancher can used=6000 ft
