Answer:
x = -4, y = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify the 1st equation by dividing each term by 4 to get:
x + 2y = -1
-5x + 2y = 23
Subtract to get: 6x = -24
x = -4
find 'y': 2y - 5(-4) = 23
2y + 20 = 23
2y = 3
y = 3/2


notice... the dog's pen perimeter, does not include the side that's bordering the garden's, since that side will use the heavy duty fence, instead of the light one
so, the sum of both of those costs, will be the C(x)

so, just take the derivative of it, and set it to 0 to find the extremas, and do a first-derivative test for any minimum
Answer:
The ships are 66 meters apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the sake of convenience, let us label ships A and B
As shown in the figure, the distances to the ships from right triangles.
The distance to the ship A is
and it is given by



And the distance to the ship B is
and is given by



Therefore, the distance
between the ships A and B is

In other words, the ships are 66 meters apart.
