At a large nursery, a border for a rectangular garden is being built. Designers want the border’s length to be twice as long as

its width. A maximum of 150 ft of fencing is available for the border. Write and solve an inequality that describes possible widths of the garden.

Let

x--------> the border’s length

y--------> the border’s width

P--------> perimeter of the border

we know that

x=5+y------> equation 1

P=2*[x+y]-----> P=2x+2y

P <=180 ft

(2x+2y) <= 180-------> equation 2

substitute the equation 1 in equation 2

2*[5+y]+2y <= 180

10+2y+2y <= 180

4y <= 180-10

4y <=170

y <=42.5 ft

so

the maximum value of the width is 42.5 ft

for y=42.5 ft

x=42.5+5------> x=47.5 ft

the answer is

the width of the border is less than or equal to 42.5 ft

One of the roots of the equation x^2 + kx -6 = 0 is 3, and k is constant
Aleks [24]
In order to solve this problem, we need to use the factor and remainder theorem. Suppose we have a quadratic equation of Q(x) and a binomial x-a=0, where a is a constant such that x=a. When you substitute x=a to the quadratic equation, you use the answer as basis. Whatever the answer is, is the remainder. If the answer is zero, that means that x=a is a factor. 

In this case, we substitute x=3 to the quadratic equation and equate to zero to find k.

Q(x) = x²+kx-6
Q(3) = 3²+k(3)-6 = 0
k = -1

The value of k is -1.

3p + 2c + 6b = 27
2p + 3c + 4b = 23
4p + 1c + 8b = 31
===============
take any 2 equations and eliminate a variable

3p + 2c + 6b = 27
4p + 1c + 8b = 31....multiply by -2
---------------------
3p + 2c + 6b = 27
-8p - 2c - 16b = - 62 (result of multiplying by -2)
--------------------add
-5p - 10b = - 35

Now take one equation, and the other equation that u have not used already, and eliminate the same variable.

4p + 1c + 8b = 31.....multiply by -3
2p + 3c + 4b = 23
---------------------
-12p - 3c - 24b = - 93 (result of multiplying by -3)
2p + 3c + 4b = 23
----------------------add
-10p - 20b = - 70

now take ur 2 equations that u eliminated the c in, and eliminate another variable

-5p - 10b = -35......multiply by -2
-10p - 20b = -70
---------------------
10p + 20b = 70 (result of multiplying by -2)
-10p - 20b = -70
-------------------add
0 = 0

when u get a result such as  0 = 0....this means there is infinite solutions to this problem
