Given:

A man walks for x hours at a speed of  (x + 1) km/h and cycles for (x - 1) hours at  a speed of (2x + 5) km/h.

Total distance  travelled is 90 km.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know that,

Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}

Speed\times Time=Distance

A man walks for x hours at a speed of  (x + 1) km/h, so walking distance is

D_1=(x+1)(x) km

The man cycles for (x - 1) hours at  a speed of (2x + 5) km/h, so the cycling distance is

D_2=(2x+5)(x-1) km

Now,

Total distance = 90 km

D_1+D_2=90

(x+1)x+(2x+5)(x-1)=90

x^2+x+2x^2-2x+5x-5-90=0

3x^2+4x-95=0

3x^2+19x-15x-95=0

x(3x+19)-5(3x+19)=0

(3x+19)(x-5)=0

3x+19=0\text{ and }x-5=0

x=\dfrac{-19}{3}\text{ and }x=5

Time cannot be negative. So, the only possible value of x is 5.

A farmer wants to seed and fence a section of land. Fencing costs $27 per yard. Grass seed costs $2 per square foot. How much do
Lilit [14]

From.the calculated area and perimeter of the field, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.

<h3>What is the area of the field?</h3>

The area of the field is calculated as follows:

Area of square = 450 ft × 450 ft = 202500 square feet

Area of triangle = (450 ft × 120 ft)/2 = 27000 square feet

Area of field = 229500 square feet

Cost of seeding the field = 229500 × $2 = $459000

Perimeter of the field = 450 + 450 + 450 + 255 + 255 = 1860 ft

1 ft = 1/3 yard

1860 ft = 1860 × 1/3 yards = 620 yards

Cost of fencing = 620 × $27 = $16740

Total cost of seeding and fencing = $475200

Therefore, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.
