<em>Answer: h = 120 ft;    w = 80 ft </em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>

<em />

<em>Step-by-step explanation: Let h and w be the dimensions of the playground. The area is given by:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = h*w   (eq1)</em>

<em></em>

<em>The total amount of fence used is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>L = 2*h + 2*w + w    (eq2)    (an extra distance w beacuse of the division)</em>

<em></em>

<em>Solving for w:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = L - 2/3*h = 480 - 2/3*h   (eq3)  Replacing this into the area eq:</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>We derive this and equal zero to find its maximum:</em>

<em></em>

<em>   Solving for h:</em>

<em></em>

<em>h = 120 ft.  Replacing this into eq3:</em>

<em></em>

<em>w = 80ft</em>

<em></em>

<em>Therefore the maximum area is:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A = 9600 ft^2</em>

What value of x is in the solution set of -2(3x + 2) &gt; -8x + 6?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

x > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

= -2(3x + 2) > -8x + 6

 (negative sign before bracket will alter the internal signs when multiplied by each term)

= -6x - 4 > -8x +6

Taking x terms on left side and other constants on right side

= -6x + 8x > 6 +4

Signs will be changer for transferred terms

= 2x > 10

By Dividing both sides 2 we get

=x > 10/2

= x >5
