How many solutions will the following system of linear equations have?

1 answer:

8 0

For the answer to the question above,
2x + 4y = –7 (1)
y = -1/2x + 5 (2)
Putting (2) into (1), we have:
-2x + 4(-1/2x + 5) = -7
-2x - 2x + 5 = -7
-4x = -7 - 5 = -12
x = -12/-4 = 3
y = -1/2(3) + 5 = -3/2 + 5 = 7/2
Therefore there is only one solution

A real estate company wants to build a parking lot along the side of one of its buildings using 800 feet of fence. If the side a

Answer:

80,00 $ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to my research, the formula for the Area of a rectangle is the following,

$A = L*W$

Where

A is the Area
L is the length
W is the width

Since the building wall is acting as one side length of the rectangle. We are left with 1 length and 2 width sides. To maximize the Area of the parking lot we will need to equally divide the 800 ft of fencing between the <u>Length and Width.</u>

800 / 2 = 400ft

So We have 400 ft for the length and 400 ft for the width. Since the width has 2 sides we need to divide 60 by 2.

400/2 = 200 ft

Now we can calculate the maximum Area using the values above.

$A = 400ft*200ft$
