A nut mixture of peanuts and macadamia nuts at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of peanuts and $3.26 per pound of macadamia nuts.
Over the
entire day, 131 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $248.52. If p is the number peanuts and n is the number of macadamia nuts, then the
system of equations that models this scenario is:
p+n=131
P+3.26n = 248.52

Answer:
a) see below
b) 40x20 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Write down what you know:
- The area of the enclosure is length*width, so
- The length of the fencing is 80 meters, so
Now we have to combine these two equations above, and get rid of y in the process.
First rewrite the second as:
Then substitute for y in the first:
b) To maximize A, find the zero of the first derivative:
So y = (80-40)/2 = 20 meters.
Answer:
Choice A. (10, -1)
Choice B. (-8, 9)
Choice D. (6, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
If we plug the coordinates of point A into the inequality, then we get,
x+y > -2
10 + (-1) > -2
9 > -2
That last inequality is a true statement since 9 is to the right of -2 on the number line. That means (10,-1) is a solution. Choice A is one of the answers.
Choices B and D are also answers for similar reasons.
Something like choice C is not a solution because
x+y > -2
-1+(-9) > -2
-10 > -2
Which is false.
You should find that choice E is false as well.
If you graphed the inequality and all of the points mentioned (see below), then you can visually confirm the answers. Notice how points A, B and D are in the blue shaded region which is the solution set.
The point E on the boundary does not count as a solution. This is due to the lack of "or equal to" portion of the inequality sign. That visually shows point E is not a solution. Point C isn't a solution either as it's nowhere near the blue shaded region.
