Answer:
11n
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression is 7n + 4n. Since 7n and 4n are like terms (they both are variables with n), we can combine them so the expression becomes 7n + 4n = 11n.
Answer:
- 50 ft by 75 ft
- 3750 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the side not parallel to the partition. Then the length of the side parallel to the partition is ...
y = (300 -2x)/3
And the enclosed area is ...
A = xy = x(300 -2x)/3 = (2/3)(x)(150 -x)
This is the equation of a parabola with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=150. The line of symmetry, hence the vertex, is located halfway between these values, at x=75.
The maximum area is enclosed when the dimensions are ...
50 ft by 75 ft
That maximum area is 3750 square feet.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The generic solution to problems of this sort is that half the fence (cost) is used in each of the orthogonal directions. Here, half the fence is 150 ft, so the long side measures 150'/2 = 75', and the short side measures 150'/3 = 50'. This remains true regardless of the number of partitions, and regardless if part or all of one side is missing (e.g. bounded by a barn or river).
Answer:
y = x/2 - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the slope of the given equation: x - 2y = 8
Subtract x from both sides
x - 2y = 8
- x - x
-2y = 8 - x
Divide both sides by -2
-2y/-2 = (8 - x)/-2
y = -4 + x/2
The slope of this equation is 1/2
So the equation of our parallel equation is y = x/2 + b
We have to find b, so plug in the given coordinates
-6 = 2/2 + b
-6 = 1 + b
Subtract 1 from both sides
-6 = 1 + b
- 1 - 1
b = -7
Plug it back into the original equation
y = x/2 - 7
