Answer:
There is no unique solution to this problem.
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let B denotes broccoli crop
Let S denotes spinach crop
Last year, he grew 6 tons of broccoli per acre and 9 tons of spinach per acre, for a total of 93 tons of vegetables.
Mathematically,
6B + 9S = 93 eq. 1
This year, he grew 2 tons of broccoli per acre and 3 tons of spinach per acre, for a total of 31 tons of vegetables.
Mathematically,
2B + 3S = 31
2B = 31 - 3S
B = (31 - 3S)/2 eq. 2
Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1
6B + 9S = 93
6[(31 - 3S)/2] + 9S = 93
3(31 - 3S) + 9S = 93
93 - 9S + 9S = 93
- 9S + 9S = 93 - 93
0 = 0
Therefore, there is no unique solution to this problem.
Which means that there are infinitely many solutions to this problem.
Answer:
-3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Negative reciprocal means to put a negative and sign and change the numerator and denominator to be in opposite places.
7/3 -> -3/7
Best of Luck!
Answer:
Total surface = 102.4 cm^2 (second answer in the list of options)
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that we need to add the surface of 4 rectangles, two have smaller sizes than the other two. A pair of rectangles are 7.2 cm x 4 cm = 28.8 cm^2, while the other pair has 7.2 cm x 2 cm = 14.4 cm^2
There are also two equal bases each one of size 4 cm x 2 cm = 8 cm^2
Now we add two of each of the individual surfaces discussed above to complete the total surface area:
2 * 28.8 + 2 * 14.4 + 2 * 8 = 102.4 cm^2
which agrees with the second answer option provided.
