3 * x = 4y (from the question)
X+y = 21 (from the question)

3(21-y) = 4y (sub equation 2 in equation 1)

63-3y = 4y

Y=9 (now you sub the 9 instead of y in any of the equations and solve for x)
X=21-y = 21-9 = 12

Hope it helps, the logic is sound just go over the math.

4 x 2/4 as a mixed fraction

aliina [53]

4 x 2/4

2/4 can be reduced to 1/2

Now you have 4 x 1/2

Multiply 4 by 1 then divide by 2:

4 x 1 = 4

4/2 = 2

The answer is 2

Peter has 3200 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular area. Find the dimensions of the rectangle that maximize the enclosed a

salantis [7]

Answer:

$A = 640000\,yd^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for the rectangular area and perimeter are, respectively:

$A (x,y) = x\cdot y$

$3200\,yd = 2\cdot (x+y)$

After some algebraic manipulation, area expression can be reduce to an one-variable form:

$y = 1600 -x$

$A (x) = x\cdot (1600-x)$

The first derivative of the previous equation is:

$\frac{dA}{dx}= 1600-2\cdot x$

Let the expression be equalized to zero:

$1600-2\cdot x=0$

$x = 800$

The second derivative is:

$\frac{d^{2}A}{dx^{2}} = -2$

According to the Second Derivative Test, the critical value found in previous steps is a maximum. Then:

$y = 800$

The maximum area is:

$A = (800\,yd)\cdot (800\,yd)$

$A = 640000\,yd^{2}$
