The shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet
<h3>What dimensions would guarantee that the garden has the greatest possible area?</h3>
The given parameter is
Perimeter, P = 520 feet
Represent the shorter side with x and the longer side with y
One side of the garden is bordered by a river:
So the perimeter is:
P = 2x + y
Substitute P = 520
2x + y = 520
Make y the subject
y = 520 - 2x
The area is
A = xy
Substitute y = 520 - 2x in A = xy
A = x(520 - 2x)
Expand
A = 520x - 2x^2
Differentiate
A' = 520 - 4x
Set to 0
520 - 4x = 0
Rewrite as:
4x= 520
Divide by 4
x= 130
Substitute x= 130 in y = 520 - 2x
y = 520 - 2 *130
Evaluate
y = 260
The area is then calculated as:
A = xy
This gives
A = 130 * 260
Evaluate
A = 33800
Hence, the shortest side is 130 feet, the longest side is 260 feet and the greatest possible area is 33800 square feet

Answer: 16 minutes and 40 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Divide 10 minutes by 3 laps in order to find out how long it takes her to run a single lap. (it ends up being 3 minutes and 20 seconds per lap)
2.) Multiply this number by 5, you get 16 minutes and 40 seconds.
NOTE: remember that you’re using intervals of 60 (seconds in a minute) rather than intervals of 100.
Multiply the first bracket by -2
Multiply the second bracket by 2
x-3-12+4x= 4x-10
- negative number times + positive number= - negative number
- negative number times -negative number = + positive number
x+ 4x-3-12= 4x-10
5x-15= 4x-10
Move 4x to the other side
5x-4x-15= 4x-4x-10
x-15= -10
Move -15 to the other side
x-15+15= -10+15
x= 5
Answer : x= 5
