The length and width that will maximize the area are 175 ft and 87.5 ft respectively
The largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²
<h3>Area of a rectangle</h3>
where
l = length
w = width
The fencing is 350 ft it is use to enclose a rectangular plot with a river occupying one part.
Therefore,
perimeter = l + 2w
350 = l + 2w
l = 350 - 2w
area = (350 - 2w)w
(350 - 2w)w = 0
where
w = 0 or 175
average = 175/2 = 87.5
Hence, the max area is at w = 87.5 ft
Therefore,
l = 350 - 2(87.5) = 175 ft
length = 175 ft
width = 87.5 ft
Therefore,
area = 175 × 87.5 = 15312.5 ft²
Therefore, the largest area that can be enclosed is 15312.5 ft²

Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
-2.5(x-4)=-3x+4
Distribute
-2.5x +10 = -3x +4
Add 3x to each side
-2.5x+10 +3x = -3x+4+3x
.5x +10 = 4
Subtract 10 from each side
.5x+10-10=4-10
.5x = -6
Divide by .5
.5x/.5 = -6/.5
x = -12
Solve the equation for y
x-3y= -18
-3y = -18-x
now, divide both sides with -3
y = (-18-x)/-3
y = 6 +x/3
your slope is 1/3
and y-intercept is 6
