The Bradley family owns 410 acres of farmland in North Carolina on which they grow corn and tobacco. Each acre of corn costs $105 to plant, cultivate, and harvest; each acre of tobacco costs $210. The Bradleys have a budget of $52,500 for next year. The government limits the number of acres of tobacco that can be planted to 100. The profit from each acre of corn is $300; the profit from each acre of tobacco is $520. The Bradleys want to know how many acres of each crop to plant to maximize their profit. Formulate a linear programming model for this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's identify decision variables:

X1 - acres of corn

X2 - acres of tobacco

Bradley needs to maximize the profit, MAX = 300X1 + 520X2

The Bradley family owns 410 acres, X1+X2≤410

Each acre of corn costs $105,  each acre of tobacco costs $210

The Bradleys have a budget of $52,500

So 105X1 +210X2≤52,500

There is a restriction on planting the tobacco - 100acres

X2≤100

Also, since outcomes can be only positive, X1X2 ≥0

So, what we have:

MAX = 300X1 + 520X2

X1+X2≤410

105X1 +210X2≤52,500

X2≤100

X1X2 ≥0

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
