Answer:

67,500 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

ASSUMING the fields look like this __________________

| | |

| | | W

|_________|_________|

Let L be the length of the combined field and W be the width

2L + 3W = 1800

2L = 1800 - 3W

L = 900 - 1.5W

A = LW

A = (900 - 1.5W)W

A = 900W - 1.5W²

Area will be maximized when the derivative equals zero.

dA/dW = 900 - 3W

0 = 900 - 3W

3W = 900

W = 300 m

L = 900 - 1.5(300)

L = 450 m

A = LW = 450(300) = 135,000 m²

so each sub field is 135000/2 = 67,500 m²

Sergio039 [100]

Step 1

Write out the system of equations

$let\text{ x represent pound of Type A coffee and y represent Type B coffee pound }$ $\begin{gathered} 4.30x+5.9y=738.80----(1) \\ x+y=148---(2) \end{gathered}$

Step 2

Find the value of one pound of type A coffee, x

$\begin{gathered} From\text{ equation 2; x+y=148} \\ Therefore \\ y=148-x \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} Substitute\text{ for y in equation 1} \\ 4.30x+5.9(148-x)=738.80 \\ 4.30x+873.2-5.9x=738.80 \\ 873.2-738.80=5.9x-4.3x \\ 134.4=1.6x \\ x=84pounds \end{gathered}$

Therefore the answer will be;

$\begin{gathered} x+y=148 \\ 84+y=148 \\ y=64\text{ pounds} \\ \end{gathered}$

The pounds of type B coffee she used is 64pounds

The pounds of type A coffee she used is 84 pounds

When Emilio drives his truck, the miles are varied directly with the

Inga [223]

Answer:

40 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it takes him 2 months to drive 15,000 miles

He drives 7,500 miles/month (15,000 miles / 2months)

Dividing the total distance by his speed yields the time it takes to drive that distance

300,000 miles / 7,500 miles/month = 40 months

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

x = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The two interior angles added together equal the exterior angle.

Make an equation and solve for x.

x - 4 + 2x + 10 = 153

3x + 6 = 153

3x + 6 - 6 = 153 - 6

3x = 147

3x/3 = 147/3

x = 49

liraira [26]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the garden = 4 - 21*x - 28*y

Width of the garden = -6*x*y

Perimeter of the garden = 2*(Length + Width)

P = 8 - 42*x - 56*y - 12*x*y
