A farmer creates a rectangular pen using part of the wall of a barn for one side of the pen and a total of 130 feet of fencing f
Nat2105 [25]

The equation that describes the which gives the area of the pen, A, as a function of x, the length of fence parallel to the barn is A = 130x - x²

<h3>How to find area of a rectangle?</h3>

The pen is rectangular. Therefore,

area of a rectangle = lw

where

  • l = length
  • w = width

Therefore,

perimeter = 2w + l

perimeter = 2w + x

130 = 2w + x

130 - x = 2w

w = 65 - 1/ 2 x

A = xw

A = x(65 - 1/ 2 x)

A = 65x - 1 / 2 x²

Therefore, the function that represents A, the area of the pen is as follows:

A = 130x - x²

PLEASE HELP SOLVE FOR ‘X’!!!
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

x= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 x -2/3 = 4/3

Add 2/3 to each side

1/5x -2/3 +2/3 = 4/3 +2/3

1/5x = 6/3

1/5x = 2

Multiply each side by 5

1/5x * 5 = 2*5

x = 10

On a certain hot​ summer's day, 477 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are 1.50 for children and 2.25 for ad
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

212 children, and 265 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of children and adults, we can set up a systems of equations.

x= number of children

y= number of adults

Equation 1: Price

1.50x+2.25y=914.25

Equation 2: Total number of people

x+y=477

Now, let's solve the equation using substitution.

Rearrange the second equation to solve for one variable.

x+y=477

x=477-y

Now plug x equals into the first equation, and solve for y.

1.50x+2.25y=914.25

1.50(477-y)+2.25y=914.25

715.5-1.50y+2.25y=914.25

715.5+0.75y=914.25

0.75y=198.75

y=265

We just solved for the number of adults. Now let's plug y equals into the second equation to find the number of children.

x+y=477

x+265=477

x=212
