Answer:

$3200

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of land is 30 acre. Let x represent the area in acre that corn is planted and y represent the area in acre that wheat is planted. Therefore:

x + y = 30               (1)

Also, the farmer can spend at most $750 on seeds. Corn cost $15 per acre, maize cost $30 per acre. Hence:

15x + 30y ≤ 750      (2)

Also, x and y > 0

The profit is given by the function:

Profit = 100x + 110y

Graphing equation 1 and equation 2 and solving, we get the points:

(10, 20)

Hence the maximum profit is at:

Max profit = 100(10) + 110(20) = $3200

One tank is filling at a rate of 5/8 gallon per 7/10 hour. A second tank is filling at a rate of 5/9 gallon per 2/3 hour. Which
anzhelika [568]
First recognize that the unit rate we're finding is gallons per hour, or \frac{g}{h}.

rate for Tank 1 = x gallons per hour = <em>a</em> gallons / <em>b</em> hours

T_{1}=\frac{\frac{5}{8}}{\frac{7}{10}}\\\\T_{1}=\frac{5}{8}*\frac{10}{7}\\\\T_{1}=\frac{50}{56}\\\\\\Fill\ rate\ of\ Tank\ 1=\frac{25}{28}


rate for Tank 2 = y gallons per hour = <em>c</em> gallons / <em>d</em> hours

T_{2}=\frac{\frac{5}{9}}{\frac{2}{3}}\\\\T_{2}=\frac{5}{9}*\frac{3}{2}\\\\T_{2}=\frac{15}{18}\\\\T_{2}=\frac{15}{18}\\\\\\Fill\ rate\ of\ Tank\ 2=\frac{5}{6}

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 5x = 3(x - 2.5)

-----------------------

B)

Distribute

5x = 3x - 7.5

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x = -7.5

Divde both sides by 2

x = -3.75

-----------------------

C)

5 * (-3.75) = 3(-3.75 - 2.5)

-18.75 = -18.75

D)

Tanya paid –$3.75 for each of 5 items

Tony paid –$6.25 for each of 3 items

There seems to be an error in the question since the cost of items is negative

Tony bought fewer items and paid less for each.
