Answer: x = 40.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply divide 27/(2/3) to get 40.5

x represents the number of lawns weeded by Gwen and y represents the number of dogs walked by Fabio.
Gwen charges $12 each time she weeds a yard and Fabio charges $9 each time he walks a dog.
So, for x number of weeds, Gwen earned 12x and for y number of dogs walked, Fabio earned 9y.
They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station.
Therefore,
12x + 9y ≥ 510
Also, the number of dog walks that Fabio has scheduled should not be more than twice the number of yards Gwen has scheduled to weed.
Therefore,
y ≤ 2x
Also, Fabio will walk at least 25 dogs.
Therefore,
y ≥ 25
Hence, the constraints are:
12x + 9y ≥ 510
y ≤ 2x
y ≥ 25
Here i how I would do it:<span>f(x)=−<span>x2</span>+8x+15</span>
set f(x) = 0 to find the points at which the graph crosses the x-axis. So<span>−<span>x2</span>+8x+15=0</span>
multiply through by -1<span><span>x2</span>−8x−15=0</span>
<span>(x−4<span>)2</span>−31=0</span>
<span>x=4±<span>31<span>−−</span>√</span></span>
So these are the points at which the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the point where it crosses the y-axis, set x=0 in your original equation to get 15. Now because of the negative on the x^2, your graph will be an upside down parabola, going through<span>(0,15),(4−<span>31<span>−−</span>√</span>,0)and(4+<span>31<span>−−</span>√</span>,0)</span>
To find the coordinates of the maximum (it is maximum) of the graph, you take a look at the completed square method above. Since we multiplied through by -1, we need to multiply through by it again to get:<span>f(x)=31−(x−4<span>)2</span></span><span>
Now this is maximal when x=4, because x=4 causes -(x-4)^2 to vanish. So the coordinates of the maximum are (4,y). To find the y, simply substitute x=4 into the equation f(x) to give y = 31. So it agrees with the mighty Satellite: (4,31) is the vertex.</span>
