The area of a plot of land is 2496 square meters. A small part of the land is fenced. The ratio of the area of the plot of land

to the area that is not fenced is 48:31. What is the area of the land that is not fenced?

My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.

Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).

Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48

Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x

Step 5: Write it as a sentence 
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters. 

Hope that helped! Good luck! :]

Inequation 1: 

\frac{2}{3}x-3 \geq y

to plot the pairs (x, y) for which the inequation holds, draw the line y=\frac{2}{3}x-3

then pick a point in either side of the line. If that point is a solution of the inequation, than color that region of the line, if that point is not a solution, then color the other part of the line.

we do the same for the second inequation. Then the solution, is the region of the x-y axes colored in both cases.

inequation 2: 

y+ \frac{2}{3}x\ \textless \ 4

y\ \textless \ - \frac{2}{3} x+ 4



draw the lines 

i)  y=\frac{2}{3}x-3          use points (0, -3),  (3, -1)

ii)y=- \frac{2}{3} x+ 4       use points ( 0, 4),   (3, 2)


let's use the point P(3, 3) to see what region of the lines need to be coloured:

\frac{2}{3}x-3 \geq y  ; 
\frac{2}{3}(3)-3 \geq 3
2-3 \geq 3, not true so we color the region not containing this point


y+ \frac{2}{3}x\ \textless \ 4
(3)+ \frac{2}{3}(3)\ \textless \ 4
3+ 5\ \textless \ 4 not true, so we color the region not containing the point (3, 3)

The graph representing the system of inequalities is the region colored both red and blue, with the blue line not dashed, and the red line dashed.
