Answer:

3) x = 9

4) x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3) The two short segments are indicated as having a sum equal to the long segment.

(x +2) +(-5 +x) = 15

2x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 3

x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

(This makes the segments be 9+2 = 11 and -5+9 = 4, which total 15.)

4) Same deal.

3x +3 = 4x

3 = x . . . . . . . . subtract 3x

(This makes the segments be 3(3) = 9 and 4(3) = 12, where 9+3=12.)

one third of a land is on maize, a fifth of the remainder is on potatoes and the rest which is 0.5 ha is on beans. how much of t

disa [49]

Answer: $1250\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Total land.

Then for Maize = $\dfrac{x}{3}$

For Potatoes = $\dfrac15(x-\dfrac {x}{3})=\dfrac15(\dfrac{2x}{3})=\dfrac{2}{15}x$

For beans = $x- (\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{2}{15}x)=0.5 \ ha$

$\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{5x+2x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{7x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{15x-7x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{8x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.5\times\dfrac{15}{8} \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.9375 \ ha$

1 ha = 10000.00 m²

0.9375 ha = 9375 m²

Land for potatoes = $\dfrac{2}{15}(9375) =1250\ m^2$

Hence, $1250\ m^2$ of the land is on potatoes.
