54 = 2(4x-3) + 2(x)
54 = 8x-6 + 2x
60 = 10x
6 = x
so two sides are 6 meters, and the other 2 sides are 21 meters
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Let x represent acres of pumpkins, and y represent acres of corn. Here are the constraints:
x ≥ 2y . . . . . pumpkin acres are at least twice corn acres
x - y ≤ 10 . . . . the difference in acreage will not exceed 10
12 ≤ x ≤ 18 . . . . pumpkin acres will be between 12 and 18
0 ≤ y . . . . . the number of corn acres is non-negative

B) If we assume the objective is to maximize profit, the profit function we want to maximize is ...
P = 360x +225y
__
C) see below for a graph
__
D) The profit for an acre of pumpkins is the highest, so the farmer should maximize that acreage. The constraint on the number of acres of pumpkins comes from the requirement that it not exceed 18 acres. Then additional profit is maximized by maximizing acres of corn, which can be at most half the number of acres of pumpkins, hence 9 acres.
So profit is maximized for 18 acres of pumpkins and 9 acres of corn.
Maximum profit is $360·18 +$225·9 = $8505.
Answer: 350
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cheeseburger be represented by a.
Since there were 51 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. This means that hamburgers will be:
= a + 51.
Since the local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 649 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. This will be:
a + a + 51 = 649
2a + 51 = 649
2a = 649 - 51
2a = 598
a = 598/2
a = 299
299 cheeseburger were sold
Therefore, the number of hamburger sold will be:
= 649 - 299
= 350
9514 1404 393
Answer:
points closest to zero will give the least change; those farthest away will give the greatest change. Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of change is the absolute value of the number on the number line. That value is the (positive) distance from 0. The numbers will most easily be compared if they are all put on one side of zero. For example, -1.75 and 1.75 are the same distance from zero, as are -3.25 and 3.25.
Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change. In order, least change to greatest change, the numbers are ...
-1.75, 2.50, -3.25, -3.50, 4.75
