Question 729626: 1. formulate but DO NOT solve the problem.
the johnson farm has 600 acres of lad allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. the cost of cultivating corn and wheat (including seeds and labor) is $51 and $25/acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $20,200 available for cultivating these crops. if he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant? Let X be the number of acres allotted for cultivating corn

Let
x= acres for corn
600-x=acres forwheat
cost of corn per acre is$51 & that for wheat $25 per acre
His total budget is $20200
So
51*x+25*(600-x)=20200

Solve this equation & get value of x & then(600-x)
