Use the fact that 1 square mile=640 acres to find the area of a property that measures 7 hectares is for sale. a. How large is the property in​ acres?
b. If the property is selling for $150,000​, what is the price per​ acre?

a) The property has 17.3 acres.

b) The price per acre is of $8,670.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions are solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

a. How large is the property in​ acres?

Each hectare has 2.47105 acres.

So 7 hectares will have:

7*2.47105 = 17.3.

The property has 17.3 acres.

b. If the property is selling for $150,000​, what is the price per​ acre?

17.3 acres for $150,000. So

150000/17.3 = $8,670.5.

The price per acre is of $8,670.5.

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
