Answer:
37.5 acres.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of his land where vegetables are grown
= 1 - 1/3 - 2/3 *3/5
(after taking away 1/3 we get 2/3 and the farmer uses 3/5 of this 2/3 to grow Maize.
= 1 - 1/3 - 6/15 LCD of 3 and 15= 15 so we write:
= 1 - 5/15 - 6/15
= 1 - (5+6)/16
= 1 - 11/15
= 4/15.
4 /15 is equivalent to 10 acres
so total area (= 1) = 10 / 4/15 Invert the 4/15 and multiply:
= 10 * 15/4
= 150/4
= 37.5 acres.
X decreased by the square of nine
x - 9^2 = x - 81
Depends on how the papers are connected. if they are connected with the 7cm side joining each other, use solution one. if they are connected with the 9cm side joining each other, use solution two.
perimeter of edges of sign= 2 [(9x3)+7]
= 68 inches
left over= 144-68
= 76 inches
OR
perimeter of edges of sign= 2[(7x3)+9]
= 60 inches
left over= 144-60
= 84 inches
F(x) = 3x-6
add 6 to each side
6=3x
dived each side by 3
2=x
