Answer:

1656 acres left
644 acres sold
$32,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The number of acres sold is ...

28% × 2300 = 0.28 × 2300 = 644

Then the number of acres Emmet has left will be ...

2300 -644 = 1656 . . . acres left

2. Emmet sold 644 acres.

3. At $50,000 per acre, the value of the land sold was ...

$50,000 × 644 = $32,200,000 . . . . paid by the developer

What is the solution for the equation StartFraction 5 Over 3 b cubed minus 2 b squared minus 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 2 Ove

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The solutions are:

$b=0,\:b=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{5}{3b^3-2b^2-5}=\frac{2}{b^3-2}$

Solving the expression

$\frac{5}{3b^3-2b^2-5}=\frac{2}{b^3-2}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:fraction\:cross\:multiply:\:if\:}\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm{\:then\:}a\cdot \:d=b\cdot \:c$

$5\left(b^3-2\right)=\left(3b^3-2b^2-5\right)\cdot \:2$

$5b^3-10=6b^3-4b^2-10$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}$

$6b^3-4b^2-10=5b^3-10$

$6b^3-4b^2-10+10=5b^3-10+10$

$6b^3-4b^2=5b^3$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}5b^3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$6b^3-4b^2-5b^3=5b^3-5b^3$

$b^3-4b^2=0$

$Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:$ $if\:\mathrm ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$

So,

$b=0,b-4=0$

$b=0,b=4$

Therefore, the solutions are:

$b=0,\:b=4$

A knife is three times the cost of a spoon. 9 spoons and 12 knifes cost ?82.80 workout the cost of 1 knife.

tankabanditka [31]

Let S = spoon

Let K = knife

1 knife is thee times the cost of a spoon, so it would be 3S

Now you have 9S + 12K = 82.80

We can replace the K with 3S:

9S +12(3S) = 82.80

Simplify the left side:

9S + 36S = 82.80

Add:

45S = 82.80

Divide both sides by 45"

S = 82.80 / 45

S = 1.84

One spoon cost $1.84

We know one knife cost 3 times as much, so multiply the cost of a spoon by 3:

Knife = 1.84 x 3 = $5.52
