Question 150725: I am not sure how to categorize my question. My nephew and I would like to find the right formula to calculate the following:
A rectangle
Side A is x + 20
Side B is x
Area = 576
We know that x = 16 but we do not know a formula that gives us this answer (16).
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Question 151459: 1. Solve for X and Y in the following problems. Make sure you show all your work so you can get partial credit even if your final answer is wrong.
a. X + Y=7 , X + 2Y = 11
b. 3X + 7Y = 24, 9X + 5Y = 24
c. 4X + Y = 17, 2X + 3Y = 21
d. 18X + Y = 42, 6X - 3Y = -6

Question 152346: How do you find the slope with only one point to work with? The first point is (3,4). The problem I am trying to solve is: Consider the semicircle of radius 5 centered at (0,0) as shown in the figure. Find an equation of the line tangent to the semicircle at the point (3,4). (hint: A line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.)

Question 154127: Thought I submitted this but not sure so trying again...
Chemical Products makes two insect repellents, Regular and Super. The chemical used for Regular is 15% DEET, and the chemical used for Super is 25% DEET. Each carton of repellent contains 24 ounces of the chemical. In order to justify starting production, the company must produce at least 12,000 cartons of insect repellent, and it must produce at least twice as many cartons of Regular as of Super. Labor costs are $8 per carton for regular and $6 per carton for Super. How many cartons of each repellent should be produced to minimize labor costs if 59,400 ounces of DEET are available? I just need help setting up the problem, I think I can get the rest..
