South Wind Vineyards uses 860 acres to plant Chardonnay and Riesling grapes.
The vintner knows the profits will be greatest by planting 230 more acres of
Chardonnay than Riesling. how many acres of each grape should be planted?
:
Let x = no. of acres planted in Riesling
then
(x+230) = no. of acres planted in Chardonnay
:
x + (x + 230) = 860
Solve this using basic algebra
2x + 230 = 860
2x = 860 - 230
2x = 630
x =
x = 315 acre of Riesling
:
You should be able to find the no. or acres of Chardonnay now
