To solve this problem, we need to know 2 relationships:
<h2>1. AC = AB + BC</h2>The distance of AC is the sum of AB and BC.
We know this since the distance of going from A to C (AC) is the same as going from A to B (AB), then B to C (BC).
<h2>2. AB = BC</h2>The distance of AB is the same as AC.
We know this since B is in the middle of AC, so the distance from B to A (BA) is the same as the distance from B to C (BC).
You can see the attached image (at the bottom) for a visualization of this.
<h2>Putting them together</h2>Since we know the values of AB and BC...
...we can put these values into our 2nd equation and solve for x:
Add 7 to both sides:
Subtract x from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Knowing x, we can find the distance of AC using our first equation.
Let's put in the values of AB and BC:
Before we put in x = 8, we can simplify this:
We group x and 3x and add those together. Then we subtract 7 from 9.
With this equation, we can put in x = 8:
Since 4 * 8 = 32:
Finally, we have found both x and AC.
<h2>Answer</h2>x = 8
AC = 34
For the given system of inequalities, x represents the number of brownies and y the number of cookies.
And the graph can be seen in the image below.
<h3>What each variable represents?</h3>Here we have the system of inequalities:
4x + 6y ≥ 200
x + y < 75.
We know that they want to make less than 75 items, that is what the second inequality:
x + y < 75.
Represents.
We also know that each brownie costs $4, and each cookie costs $6, then the expression:
x*4 + y*6
Represents the revenue for selling x brownies and y cookies, and because they want to earn at least $200, the inequality becomes:
x*4 + y*6 ≥ 200
So we conclude that x represents the number of brownies and y the number of cookies.
Now the system is:
4x + 6y ≥ 200
x + y < 75.
To graph it, you just need to graph both the lines and shade the indicated region, we can write the inequalities sa:
y ≥ (200 - 4x)/6
y < 75 + x
Just graph these two lines, for the first one you need to use a solid line and shade the region above the line, for the second, a dashed line and you need to shade the region below the line. The graph can be seen below.
The solutions to the systems are in the region where both shaded parts intersect.
There we can see that the point x = 20 and y = 20 (among a lot of other ones) is a solution to the system.
