Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 175
y = 175 - x
f(x) = (x+3)(y+4)
= x(175-x) + 3(175-x) + 4x + 12
= 175x - x² + 525 - 3x + 4x + 12
= -x² +176x + 537
f'(x) = -2x + 176
maximum when x = 88
y = 175-x = 87
You distribute -4 to each in the parentheses then you get -24 - 4b = 4 then you add 24 on both sides and get -4b = 28 then you divide each side by -4 and it equals -7
