Answer:

x = -0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can substitute y in 2x – 4y = 3, to solve for x.

How to solve for x:

2x - 4(3x) = 3 (Simplify)

2x - 12x = 3 (Simplify)

-10x = 3 (Divide by -10)

x = -0.3

r Flag For Review A certain city with a population of 132,000 is to be divided into 11 voting districts, and no district is to h
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

P = \frac{132000}{12}=11000

So then P =11000 is the minimum that the least populated district could have.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a big total of N = 132000 for the population.

And we know that we divide this population into 11 districts

And we have this info given "no district is to have a population that is more than 10 percent greater than the population of any other district"

Let's assume that P represent our minimum value for a district in the population. The range of possible values for the population of each district would be between P and 1.1 P

The interest on this case is find the minimum value for P and in order to do this we can assume that 1 district present the minimum and the other 10 the maximum value 1.1P in order to find which value of P satisfy this condition, and we have this:

P + 10 (1.1P) = 12 P= 132000

P = \frac{132000}{12}=11000

So then P =11000 is the minimum that the least populated district could have.

Consider the following problem: A farmer with 950 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into four
Alina [70]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Suppose we came up with an ideology whereby we pick a value for the length including the length dividing the inside into 4 parts(5 parallel sides), then we can get the value for breath by using the following process.

Let assume the length of the rectangle is 50;

Then, the breath can be calculated as follows:

= 50 × 5 = 250   ( since the breath is divided into 5 parallel sides)

The fencing is said to be 950 ft

So, 950 - 250 = 700

Then divided by 2, we get:

= 700/2

= 350

So for the first diagram; the length = 50 and the breath = 350

The area = 50 × 350 = 17500 ft²

Now, let's go up a little bit.

If the length increase to 100;

Then 100 × 5 = 500

⇒ 950 - 500 = 450

⇒ 450/2 = 225

The area = 225 × 100 = 22500 ft²

Suppose the length increases to 150

Then 150 × 5 = 750

⇒ 950 - 750 = 200

⇒ 200/2 = 100

The area = 150 × 100 = 15000 ft²

The diagrams for each of the outline above can be seen in the image attached below.

(b) The diagram illustrating the general solution can be seen in the second image provided below.

(c) The expression for  the total area A in terms of both x and y is:

Area A = x×y

(d) Recall that:

The fencing is said to be 950 ft.

And the length is divided inside into 5 parallel sides;

Then:

5x + 2y = 950  (from the illustration in the second image below)

2y  = 950 - 5x

y = \dfrac{950}{2} - \dfrac{5}{2}x

y = 475- \dfrac{5}{2}x

(e)

From (c); replace the value of y in (d) into (c)

Then:

Area A = x×y

f(x)= x\times ( 475 -\dfrac{5}{2}x)

Open brackets

f(x)= ( 475 x-\dfrac{5}{2}x^2)

(f)

By differentiating what we have in (e)

f(x)= ( 475 x-\dfrac{5}{2}x^2)

f'(x)= ( 475 (1)-\dfrac{5}{2}(2x))

f'(x)= 475 -5x

\implies  475 = 5x

x = 475/5

x = 95

From (d):

y = 475- \dfrac{5}{2}x

y = 475- \dfrac{5}{2}(95)

y =237.5

∴

Area A = x × y

Area A = 95 × 237.5

Area A = 22562.5 ft²

Tom sells baseball cards at 10 for 35 cents. Is that better deal than 12 for 40 cents? Prove your thinking
Aleks [24]

Answer:

12 for 40 cents is a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation: 35divided by 10 is 3.5 and 12 divided by 40 is 3.333... therefore for just one card it is cheaper but you are getting more cards anyways.
